Earlier today. this House passed the concurrent resolution recognizing the 60th anniversary of the founding of the modern State of Israel and reaffirming the bonds of close friendship and cooperation between the United States and Israel. I was not yet born in 1948 when the State of Israel declared its independence. but I grew up and was born into a family where the fact that Israel had been created meant everything to us. and I want to share with you why that is. I am the granddaughter of immigrants to this country that couldnt speak English. My mothers side of the family comes from Salonica. Greece.
