(Editor's Note: The following letter was addressed to Farmingdale Village Clerk John Giordano who requested that, it be printed here.)

I send greetings to those celebrating the 100th anniversary of Farmingdale, New York.

Across America, our cities, towns and communities provide important support as people raise families, immigrants build better lives and countless others pursue their personal and professional goals. By enhancing the values of faith, family and friendship in our neighborhoods, citizens are helping to make our country safer, more prosperous and more compassionate. The success of Farmingdale is a testament to the contributions of your residents and the hope and promise of our great country.

Laura joins me in sending best wishes on this special occasion.
