Mulumba Mathias / Press

“More than 100 people, young and old, joined Nordenberg in the parking lot as flags were raised, songs sung and speeches delivered all with a gracious, humble tone toward veterans. Perhaps the most emotional moment of the entire ceremony was Mathias Mulumba’s heart-felt rendition of “God Bless America” and his brief speech about immigrating from Uganda because “strangers come here to experience the freedom and love you were a part of.” “All my heart and all my praise are with you today,” Mulumba said. ”

“Mathias Mulumba, who was born in Uganda, performed a stirring rendition of “God Bless America.” Mulumba, also gave a speech about how great America is as a country and how blessed he is to live here. Mulumba was also awarded a flag for his service to the Fruita Vietnam Veterans Memorial”
