America has given us great liberties, opportunities and possibilities that we all ought to be incredibly grateful for. As an immigrant from India who has called America home since 1987, I am really happy and proud to have done my undergraduate and graduate school here, raised two wonderful American kids who are born here, and have now been home in California for the past 20+ years. It's easy to take many of the things for granted... but we don't. I still remember the day when my parents sent my sister and I to Norman, Oklahoma in pursuit of higher education. Our journey had many bumps and challenges along the way... whose doesn't! The true spirit of being an American is to face such hardships head-on, fight the good fight & keep going!

Inspiring Independence Day Message

"The most patriotic man, ladies and gentlemen, is sometimes the man who goes in the direction that he thinks right even when he sees half the world against him. It is the dictate of patriotism to sacrifice yourself if you think that that is the path of honor and of duty. Do not blame others if they do not agree with you. Do not die with bitterness in your heart because you did not convince the rest of the world, but die happy because you believe that you tried to serve your country by not selling your soul. Those were grim days, the days of 1776. Those gentlemen did not attach their names to the Declaration of Independence on this table expecting a holiday on the next day, and that 4th of July was not itself a holiday. They attached their signatures to that significant document knowing that if they failed it was certain that every one of them would hang for the failure. They were committing treason in the interest of the liberty of 3,000,000 people in America. All the rest of the world was against them and smiled with cynical incredulity at the audacious undertaking. Do you think that if they could see this great Nation now they would regret anything that they then did to draw the gaze of a hostile world upon them? Every idea must be started by somebody, and it is a lonely thing to start anything. Yet if it is in you, you must start it if you have a man's blood in you and if you love the country that you profess to be working for." ~Woodrow Wilson, Presidential Address at Independence Hall, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1914 July 4th
