This focus on family has allowed ItalianAmericans to become the artists. the scientists. the athletes. and the educators that have inspired former generations and generations to come. I rise today. Mr. President. because I am proud to be an ItalianAmerican. I am honored to be part of a people that have beaten the odds placed against them. Most Italian immigrants first came to this country with little money and built their lives in America with perseverance and hope for the future. Today ItalianAmerican youth have role models they can look to with pride and admiration. They know that wit) the same hope. love. reverence. and commitment toward life and toward one another their ancestors had they can achieve greatness.
