Albany, from the birthplace of Saint Emeric Prince of Hungary![1]
Honored Madam Mayor,
Esteemed City leaders, citizens of Albany and its Hungarian and Italian communities,

Esteemed City leaders, citizens of Albany and its Hungarian and Italian communities,
We, the citizens of Székesfehérvár, Hungary and its neighboring communities, were informed today of your pending proclamation to have the citizens of Albany celebrate November 5, the feast day of Saint Emeric, prince of Hungary, as
„Amerigo
Vespucci Day”
in Albany. We were deeply touched by this gesture for two reasons: our city is the birthplace of Saint Emeric and today is the 58th anniversary of the crushing of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 by Soviet troops, a day of remembrance for all Hungarians.
