"Freshman Sen. Mel Martinez, a Cuban immigrant, shattered a 216-year tradition of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday when he used the ceremonial occasion of his first floor speech to speak three sentences in Spanish." - SFGate.com
What a wonderful story! Whether you side with the Democrats, Republicans, or none of the above, what a great sense of pride for all of us who love the Spanish language. Senator Martizinez's life story of being a Cuban immigrant to standing on the floor of the United States Senate giving a speech is incredible.
