"God created us free...My parents brought me to this country, to this land, to live in freedom. For many of us here, we have our own stories of pain and separation...Today I say thanks to God and thanks to this great country, the United States of America. In the year 1966, they opened the doors, and they took us in as refugees. As it is said in the Psalms, the Lord is my refuge, my rock, my strength."
