The American Dream. When my father came to this country, August 11 of 1963, he came at the height of the Civil Rights Movement from Jamaica. He came and I said, 'But it was such a bad time for us, why did you come?' And he said, 'Because America is where the jobs and the opportunities were.' He only came with $1.75."

When I joined the Marine Corps I was still a Jamaican, but this country had done so much for me I was willing, willing, to die for this country. USA!"
