Mr. Speaker. I rise to Join with my colleagues in paying tribute to UkrainianAmericans all over the country. who this year are celebrating 100 years of Ukrainian immigration to the United States. Today. the UkrainianAmerican community descends primarily from three waves of immigration from 1875 to World War I. between the World Wars. and after World War II. However. the first Ukrainians came to this country with the early settlers who founded Jamestown in 1607. and are among those who fought bravely under Gen. George Washington during our American Revolution. as well as all subsequent battles to preserve our American way of life.
