In honoring the Grand Admiral of the Oceans who braved the mysteries of the uncharted Atlantic to open the New World to civilization and settlement. we will simultaneously be paying equal tribute to all who came from abroad to build a strong. vital and thriving America. George Washington is deservedly called the Father of Our Country. and we commemorate his memory by a special day. In what President Kennedy most appropriately termed "a nation of immigrants." should not the "Father of Immigration" receive equal tribute from all Americans? The distinguished historian and biographer. Samuel Eliot Morison. in his book "Admiral. of the Ocean Sea." says "the whole history of the Americas stems from the four voyages of Columbus." Let us remember that the second and later voyages of Columbus represented the first real efforts at colonization of the New World.
