Gateway to America

I checked for my last name on the Ellis Island's web database with no luck. I'm not sure how my DNA crossed the Atlantic but I have a feeling the emotion and dream was the same as immigrants have felt here. Turns out that the events at Ellis Island were mostly not positive as previously assumed. A lengthy process was endured here that broke dreams for so many.
Security remains tight for access to Liberty and Ellis Islands. Our most iconic symbol of freedom remains in confidence despite threats, war, and terror. -Mr. G
