And this from the state where the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Monmouth and Springfield took place Sickening, isn't it. I was born and raised in New Jersey, 10th generation in that state/colony. Many of my ancestors faught in those battles, as regulars, militia, enlisted and officer. The first generation left England for greater freedom. I've left New Jersey for the same. I'm sure my ancestors would approve.
My hat's off to you. Your ancestors and people like them fought the greatest fight in history so this incredible country could be. And, just about 100 years after that their descendants were good enough to let people like my grandfather into this best of all countries.
GBA, man.
