My name is Margot Menendez Mendez de Martinez. I came on August 20th 1970, with my husband Pedro Martinez Perez, nick name EL Chaparro, and my daughter Viviana Martinez, she was 2 years old. We are living in New Orleans, Louisiana for 38 years. I want to thank this great Country that help us to enjoy freedom. (GOD BLESS AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE)
