What a wonderful day to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island!
Seeing all the young students on field trips - and generations of families visiting as one - I was reminded of a Ronald Reagan speech from Liberty State Park in September 1980. He spoke of the Americans who passed through Ellis Island and whose first glimpse of their adopted country was the grand statue in New Yorks harbor. He talked about our shared values and the common thread of the American dream across an endless mix of backgrounds.
