As a child growing up in Germany, I learned how essential it is for society to embrace the values of democracy. Today I see how quickly a stable government can fall into chaos. And how important it is for all of us to safeguard the liberties of freedom and democracy.
Thrilled and so thankful about this incredible honor. It is such an honor to be in the company of such amazing people. Congrats to all immigrants and their contributions!!
