Speaker, I rise today to join the Sikh community in
celebrating Vaisakhi. In the San Joaquin Valley, I have the honor and
the privilege to represent many diverse ethnic communities that are
part of the mosaic of America. The Sikh community is the American story, for they are the story of
immigrants past and immigrants present that have come from all over the
world to establish themselves as Americans and to build a better life
for themselves and their family and add value to our country. So I am
very proud, among so many ethnic groups, to be representing their
interests here in our Nation's Capital. On April 14, Vaisakhi is recognized by the Sikhs around the world,
including thousands in California's San Joaquin Valley.
