Now, with her husband’s support and weekly gigs at and throughout the New York City metropolitan market, Lina’s name shines bright. Her children’s service in the US Navy and Air Force exemplifies the Cornejo family’s dedication to the American Dream.

“Lift every voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.”

– James Weldon Johnson
