As a child, I have fond memories of watching The Three Stooges and The Wizzard of Oz during the holidays. I also recall listening to the Famous Nursery Rhyme Three Blind Mice.

May God shower his holiest birthday wishes, Pope FRANCIS.

It's Pope Francis birthday and you may send him email greetings in multiple languages.

The Pontiff won't be taking the day off, either.

As a child, I recall my parents' apprehensions before their eventual decision to leave everything behind and escape the dangers of the cold war. The decided to begin a new life in the greatest country on earth. The United States of America is and has always been known as a bastion of freedoms and democracy.
