Mr. Speaker. because of its beautiful green forests and stunning lakes. it isnt surprising that so many Norwegian immigrants chose to settle in northeast Wisconsin. It reminded them of home. Today. the descendants of these people continue to honor their ancestors through membership in the Sons of Norway. I rise today on May 17 as a fellow Son of Norway to wish all the members of the Sons of Norway in the Eighth Congressional District of Wisconsin a happy Norwegian Independence Day. Or as they say in Norway. a "flott Syttende Mai." Norwegians celebrate May 17 in a wonderful manner.
