“Tonight I had my first Iftar dinner with a group of Somali refugees in Minneapolis, ” he writes .
“As a refugee, you often don’ t get to choose which country you end up in . When I asked one man , who had spent 26 years in a refugee camp, whether America now felt like home , he gave a simple and profound answer :
“‘ Home is where you are free to do what you want. Yes, this feels like home . ’
“There are few places in the world he felt comfortable to be who he is : the country he was born , and our country that values freedom .
“What a beautiful tribute to America.
“Thanks to my hosts for being so gracious at the very end of Ramadan . I left impressed by your strength and resilience to build a new life in an unfamiliar place , and you are a powerful reminder of why this country is so great ,” he concludes.
