He has been an exemplary citizen. never taking for granted the freedom and opportunity that this country afforded him and his family. He has voted in every election. he has always kept informed of the issues facing America. and he has worked for candidates for various elective office. My father has lived the American dream. He came to this country a Holocaust survivor and refugee with a wife and young son and barely a penny to his name. He worked hard. bought a home. paid off the mortgage. raised two children. provided for his family. and has and continues to live a decent and productive life. One of my fathers great pleasures is sports.
