If it takes the fresh perspective of a newcomer to our shores to remind us of what our great Nation stands for around the world. then John Koelemij. through his example. should rekindle that fresh perspective that has been a constant inspiration to our forebears and today stands as a beacon of light wherever individual liberties are trampled by the injustices of undemocratic government. The chronicle of John Koelemijs rise to eminence in America is a simple story. The same story could be told about any number of individuals who have made their fortune in America and used their new station in life to be of service to other..
