Mr. Speaker. the way in which immigrants and children of immigrants have succeeded in spite of obstacles. and their devotion to the United States. is the recurring miracle of freedom that develops the best in men and women. Freedom. Inc.. has requested every city and town to choose an outstanding immigrant. or son or daughter of an immigrant. to receive a citation for good citizenship. Joseph L. Carr. of Revere. Mass.. has been nominated by Mayor Harry Della Russo to receive the honor in that community. Joe Carr is the son of an Irish immigrant and is 1 of 8 children. He went to work at the age of 12. because the lot of an immigrants family was hard in those days. Youngsters did not have the opportunity to enjoy the long and carefree days of adolescence. or the blessings of an education. By sheer effort. and alone. they had to make their way in life.
