 Colonel RooseEeIfs sEtaech,
 Thers is room in this esStfn4zy fez hyphenAted Americans. Wafen I refer ko hvphena4ed Americans ] do mol refer to nat54ra1ized A1aeri@zas. Some Of the very best Az1aericak4s T. have ever known were natHFallzed AxneEi- cans born abroad, But a hyphenated Anar4caaa is not an American at all
