July 22. 1956: Mr. State Commander. fellow veterans. no movement within our American society is closer to my heart than the organizations of veterans of American wars of which the ItalianAmerican World War Veterans of the United States is an active and moving force. I have dedicated my life to the proposition that the hyphen can and should be a uniting. not a dividing. force in American life. and that immigrants. second generation Americans. descendants of colonial Americans. and our only natives. the American Indians. have an equal privilege and duty to provide pieces in the shining kaleidoscopic pattern of American culture. To Jewish groups and Negro groups. to PolishAmerican. GermanAmerican. and IrishAmerican patriotic associations and the rest.
