In the ensuing years we clearly see that Columbus not only became the recognized discoverer of the Americas. but more importantly. the father of immigration and founder of the diversified land that is the United States.

They set out from their homelands with boundless courage and optimism. not knowing what their fortunes would be. but with faith that they would prosper and contribute to this new land. As did Columbus. they came with a determination to succeed. and succeed they did.
