My Dad passed on today after fighting MS for 20 years. Lost muscle by muscle, function by function, quadriplegic for a decade. His parents immigrated legally from Italy, they were poor. HE WORKED FULL TIME FROM THE AGE OF 12, paid his own way through law school, BUILT HIS OWN LAW PRACTICE...

Thanks for reading this, and never apologize for the hard work of your families and ancestors.

God Bless you and your family. May he rest in peace now. My family also immigrated legally from Italy. We are all proud to be American.
