1 Page 12 Fraternity- Testvériség remembrance to those who accomplished great achievements. Honorees walked around congratulating each other and taking pictures with their families. Stefan J. Fedor with his wife Erika, their two daughters Silvia and Olivia at the Ceremony It a was night where everyone had something in common, that through hard work and perseverance and the help of others one could accomplish their dreams and be recognized for their efforts by those who will follow in their footsteps. After dinner the honorees and guests boarded a ferry to view a magnificent firework display over the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The Ellis Island Medal of Honor that the 98 honorees received is represented in the poem by Emma Lazarus. Her poem about the Statue of Liberty and the image that she embodies should remind us all of the significance of Ellis Island to America’s past. Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” (The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus) Michael John Szőke, member of Branch 35, graduated in April 30, 2005 from the University of Michigan with Cum Laude.
