Perhaps Columbus achievement in sailing into the trackless Atlantic Is more meaningful for us today than it was for previous generations because we face the vastness of outer space in the same way that Columbus faced the expanse of the uncharted ocean. Columbus stubborn persistence despite discouragement and danger. his indomitable will. his faith in God and his absolute fearlessness insured his triumph over what seemed to others insurmountable odds. It gives me great pleasure to join my friends in Chicago. my colleagues here In Washington. and my fellow citizens all over the United States in honoring Americas first and perhaps greatest immigrantChristopher Columbus.
