Mr. Speaker. Columbus Day honors more than one man. It honors every Italian who has come to our shores since that first brave and persistent explorer. It further honors and commemorates the immigrants from every nation. reminding us of our heritage. Except for the descendants of the American Indians. we are all sons of immigrants. Our greatest strength has been that. ever since the first settlers. we have been able to live together in relative harmony and build a nation together. Each of the groups that came did its part and gave its best. The Italians who came to America seemed determined to live up to the standard that Columbus set for them.
