\n\u201cWhat did he tell us? Well he said 'Congratulations, I give you my blessings.' I mentioned also that my wife and me are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary; and we also came here with our son. He then gave us a blessing for this. How do we feel? We feel proud, very happy to represent our roots.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
