Welcome - Bienvenidos

My Blog "Patria Nueva- USA"is mainly directed to new legal immigrants to the USA to help them change their perspective, blend into their new society and become an asset to our new great nation with Christian principles and focusing their eyes in our Lord Jesus Christ.
As an additional service to them I also cover other topics, such as pet care from my 43+ years of experience as a practicing veterinarian.

You are cordially invited to visit my blog and participate in it, so welcome to it.
