Yo...Hi Renie!<BR/><BR/>What a perfect post for this holiday! Your story sounds almost identical to that of our Hungarian friends, the Kovacs. They said they were told they were going to Coudersport, PA. He said he had never heard of that place and didn't even know where he and his family were going, but he quickly added that they didn't care where they were going, that they were just thankful to be in America! They told of seeing the Statue of Liberty, too. I could sit for hours and listen to the stories they told. They are still in Coudersport to this very day and have visited us in SC different times!<BR/><BR/>We have never known anything but freedom here in our country. I couldn't imagine any other way of living as that is all I've ever known. <BR/><BR/>I, for one, just want to tell you that I am glad you are here in the USA and that I have had this opportunity to get to know you through blogging!<BR/><BR/>Your story brought tears to my eyes. God Bless YOU!!!!<BR/><BR/>(((HUGS)))Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11388218387599733572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128708840799747320.post-74290579432791241352008-07-06T04:46:00.000-05:002008-07-06T04:46:00.000-05:00Dear Renie ~~ I cried all through reading this won...Dear Renie ~~ I cried all through reading this wonderful post.
