Prior to becoming a U.S. citizen, Jacques Paraskévas was an official of the French embassy in Washington, D.C. He became a U.S. citizen, he claims, because, with exposure, he discovered that he preferred our republican form of government to the French system, which he claims has attributes of both a monarchy and a form of multi-national state headquartered in Brussels. His comments on these two political systems should be enlightening. Come prepared to learn how to say the Pledge of Allegiance in French. Jacques is a member of the Rotary Club of North Bethesda.
