Even the greatest American is an immigrant or has descended from immigrants.
—VIOLA ENGEL ARMSTRONG
America means opportunity. It started that way. The early settlers came to the new world for the opportunity to worship in keeping with their conscience, and to build a future on the strength of their own initiative and hard work. . . . They discovered a new life with freedom to achieve their individual goals.
—NEIL A. ARMSTRONG, “WHAT AMERICA MEANS TO ME,” THE READER’S DIGEST, APRIL 1975
