Greatest American
I've been seeing a large number of TV spots for this, figured I would run it by here to see if anybody has any favorites.

Still not sure myself, but I could probably pick from that list, if pressed...
I must say though, I'm kind of disappointed at the lack of any Horatio Alger-esque rags-to-riches stories of people emigrating to America and then "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps," so to speak... something uniquely American about immigrant success stories, I've always felt.
