Quote from Our Flag
... on the anniversary of the last day of operations for Ellis Island - America's leading immigration station from 1892 to 1954 ...


"Beginning with a trip out to Ellis Island,
I saw for myself where thousands of European immigrants
took their first steps on to American soil,
bringing with them nothing but their ambition (hopes & dreams)."


- P. Merton

And, now it's time to ...
Recite the Pledge of Allegiance

Keep America Beautiful, and remember,
In God We Trust
