Default Happy Columbus Day!! - "Coming To America"

For those who enjoyed my talented brother-in-law's video I posted previously, I'm posting another one he crafted a few years ago to Neil Diamond's great song "Coming To America".

I post this in honor of my grandparents who made the difficult journey here from Sicily at the last century's beginning to build a better future for their family, and thus blessed all their descendants with America's bounty.

Just like the words to this song, they never looked back again. They crossed the ocean to be American, and that's just what they did.

What a great video! A reminder to all of us, of what made and makes our country what it is. Sacrifices our families made when they came here for a better life, and where we are today, enjoying and living what they wanted for us and now what we want for our children and grandchildren.
But, sadly, we have turned that day into Columbus Day Sales.
Thanks Chris..........
