Both sets of grandparents had the foresight to leave their familiar homes and environment in the Carpathian Mountain area of Czechoslovakia in the early 1900's and take a chance on America.

Thanx be to God for that!

My maternal grandfather landed at Castle Garden, not Ellis Island. When he disembarked, he got on his knees, kissed the ground and exclaimed, "God bless America!"

This is why I 'fight'.
