This fine tradition has continued over the last century, usually marked
by a turkey dinner, finance meeting, and exchanging of family mementos
at Cokesbury United Methodist Church in Hunterdon County. This year,
however, family members will travel back to the
original Philhower homestead to be together. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful to be a descendant of the Philhower
family. This is but one example of the strong immigrant tradition in
this country that continues to be one of our greatest strengths as a
nation, as much a strength today as in the middle of the 18th century. I am honored to share this milestone with colleagues in the United
States House of Representatives and with the American people.
