#ComingtoAmerica #Freedom🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
50 years ago today on May 5,1970 the Minev family set foot in the US after escaping their country, Communist Bulgaria. Landing in JFK Airport in New York, Vladimir recalled his father going down on his knee to kiss the ground of their hard fought freedom. They settled in Akron Ohio where fate would lead Vladimir and I to cross our paths. A year and a half after they came the Akron Beacon Journal featured the family adapting to their new country. George Sorbane ‘ s book “The Endless Beginning” wrote about the details of the family’s escape to freedom. A planned trip to the nation’s capital to celebrate this milestone had gone awry but we will go as soon as we can!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
