How and why did your family come to the United States?

# data[].attributes.body
Well, my father was born here, and flew from San Diego to see my mother in Ukraine. Once he arrived, he stayed in for a few months before proposing to my mother, and traveling to the USA with her, continuing their lifetime here since then. They mainly came here to spend their life together in a place with decent weather and no snow, which was something my mother was harshly used to at the time.

Since they met online, writing letters back and forth to each other for years, there was a very large communication barrier placed until my father flew to Ukraine. They told each other stories, life experiences, and a ton of this cheesy stuff that that I could've forbid my eyes to ever see. It was cliché.
When they met in person, my grandmother (on my mom's side) wasn't too sure of my father at first. She was suspicious, especially since he wanted to fly my mother out to the United States to live with him, and marry him someday. She eventually approved, though, and they both took off on their quest among three planes, and a lot of airports to get here.

To be completely honest, not even my mother knows what was going on historically at the time they were traveling from place to place. She doesn't even remember the year they traveled to the United States. She describes it as "peaceful, yet hard to remember", and there's no way I can ask my father, so this question remains unanswered for now.
