On the recordFebruary 11, 2003
like many Members of this Chamber, I have often spoken with fond affection of my grandfather, a gentleman who came to the United States as an immigrant from Belgium. He did not speak the language. He spoke Flemish. In spite of his limitations, not only did he not speak English, he basically had no formal education, he embraced this country and he embraced what we all call the American dream. I am very, very grateful to that immigrant from Belgium, my grandfather, for clinging to that dream, fostering that dream, instilling that dream in me and many other of my family members and people he came in contact with over his extended life. It is what America is all about. I rise tonight to talk about someone who instills those same values, those same characteristics, that same American dream: Mr. Miguel Estrada.
