To the editor:

I still remember well the seasickness I felt for two weeks in the bottom of the USS General Muir transport ship. But it was all worth it when we arrived to the New York Harbor, looked up at the Statue of Liberty and cried with tears of sadness for leaving our home country and tears of gratitude to America for accepting us refugees, escaping Communism. The Statue of Liberty stands for freedom, peace and liberty for all.
