The Question
An American woman stands with her hand over her heart, singing and weeping with joy, as our national anthem is played to honor her for winning her Olympic race. Her competition was against sports teams from other countries. She is being honored for representing our country. Perhaps in the back of her mind is a realization that some time in the past, one of her ancestors came to this country, settled, worked hard, raised a family, and that she inherited the work ethic that made her victory possible.
