My children study piano, and especially love classical music. We will be supporting this artist by purchasing her CD's, if Ms. Kolesnikova has produced any recordings.

WOW! Beautiful, intelligent (graduated on the National Dean's list) and patriotic! She's perfect! I bet our troops really enjoy being entertained by her. New Americans really understand how fortunately they are and they in turn are the most appreciative.

New Americans' have passion for America - they do good deeds such as entertaining the troops.

New Muslims have passion for Islam - they do good deeds such as blowing themselves up while murdering innocent people.

"I truly enjoy entertaining the troops -- because, for me, they're protecting my newly found homeland," she said. "I'm so grateful to be in the position to go there and take a few hours of worries away from them."

Great find SandRat. What a great gesture from a new citizen. A new citizen who gives back to her new country. God bless her.

Great Story.

Nothing like the gift of perspective that a new citizen can have.

Quite the cute tomato too. (grin)

Kinda remind you of another (unfortunately now departed) foreign-born concert pianist?
