This is Americaa land where the people rule and breathe free. without strut or snobbery. The picture inspires a grateful Te Deum uttered in deep humility. "This is my heritage. I am an American." After horrible years bound by the fetters of a police state at last a recent refugee found himself in this land of hope and glory. After due process he was given his first papers of citizenship. On that day he entered the nearest church. and. in a tumult of joy. knelt to thank God. author of liberty. for .America beacon light for the whole world and for the inestimable boon of being an American.
