      DIFFERENCES MAKE US STRONGER

      Inscribed on the back of every coin are the Latin words E pluribus unum. That may be all someone ever sees of Latin nowadays. I suspect that most Americans know the phrase means one from many. The heterogeneous makeup of our population has long represented our nation’s genius in that we are one nation formed from many different people. Simply, we are all different yet one. Not that we are all the same and one.

      There is a reason why this simple Latin phrase embodies America’s greatness, regardless of the historical revisionists, who would rewrite much about our history simply because they are either ignorant of facts or prefer to overlay their modern-day perspectives on anything that happened many years ago that does not fit their current politically correct agendas.

      The wonder of the one from many motto was instilled in me very early in my life as the son of immigrants. My parents were born in Italy, immigrated to America in the 1930s, and never went back. My paternal grandparents lived with us as well, reinforcing the appreciation of my roots and their perspectives of the privilege of being an American. We never held those two sentiments in tension in my family. They are the two sides of the coin that represent the strength of our nation. Unfortunately, much of our current national narrative seems to have forgotten that our strength lies in our differences—and our ability to see beyond differences for the greater good.

      My father was not quite seventeen when he came to America. As such, he had vivid memories of his childhood and young adulthood in Italy, living in a small mountain town in Calabria in clear sight of the sea about eight miles down the mountain. He would tell me about his idyllic life as a child, especially during the summer months, when he and his friends would walk down the mountain and spend several days at the beach without coming home. He’d take some salami and cheese from the cellar, catch fish in the sea, and sleep under the stars on the beach. His family was self-sufficient because they grew or raised everything they needed. It was their version of Mayberry. It sounded so
