We welcome you to America and are so grateful you are here and safe. Thank you for making our country better with your presence and unique culture and perspectives.

Although we have never met, I want you to know you are welcome and you are loved. I will do what I can to support newcomers, to make sure you and others feel safe and can thrive here in the U.S.

Dear newcomer,

My family fled Nazi Germany in 1940. America welcomed newcomers, and I also. I served in the U.S. Navy in order to protect migrants and immigrants. America has always been a country of immigrants. Welcome.

All are welcome. Thank you for bringing your family here. We have so much to learn from each other and so much in common.
