But John, welcome. Thank you. Welcome, sir. Welcome to the committee to hear the great compliment that I am one of you. That is a true honor. John James. I'm glad to be a part of the 80,000 plus Polish American members of Bacon County. I recognize that, similar to my family, we came to Michigan for better opportunities for ourselves and our families. And my father immigrated from Mississippi and many of you immigrated from Eastern Europe. (01:42–01:51)
