  I'm an German American Jew. My great grandparents escaped Hitler's massacre. Glad I found your channel.

  I grew up in the Midwest, and we are just as likely to say, "gesundheit," as we are to say, "bless you," when someone sneezes.

  I’m actually Native American, Navajo and Apache, my great grandmother said that her parents were friends with Germans in Fredricksburg Tx, in fact they traded goods and were very good friends.

  I was raised in beautiful Hermann, Missouri (central midwest) and my grandparents spoke in German when they wanted to talk without me knowing what they said! I took German language classes in high school and use many German phrases when I speak. Everyone in our area is very proud of our German heritage!

  The German influence here in the US is still HUGE. People are very proud of their German heritage.

  German immigrants were the greatest gift the US could ever ask for. Builders, engineers.. they did it all

  When I was growing up on the ranch here in central Texas, our closest neighbors were Rupert Niester (I hope I spelled that right—it's been some years) and his family, and I have to say…  These folk happily lived up to any stereotype you can imagine about old-time German farmers.  Rupert had a plump wife and a big red barn, planted fruit trees in his yard, made his own sausage.  From time to time they would drive down to Fredericksburg to stock up on whatever condiments or other supplies they couldn't find at the local general store.  They were salt of the earth, and one could not imagine having better friends and neighbors.

  We Americans owe so much to the bold and brave immigrants from all the nations, we are grateful to be able to call this our history and heritage

George Washington made Baron von Steuben a Major General in the Continental Army, and was one of Washington&apos;s most trusted advisors during the war.

  My grandma lived next to a German couple and anytime we would visit grandma, the German couple would have us over and spoil us with all kinds of German chocolates
