Wonderful story. Thank you for sharing. I hope you don’t mind me asking, where were you born?

Excellent. Thank you for your story of appreciation and gratitude....and for your service, of and to this great nation.
Today’s *immigration* policies tend to punish those immigrants who follow our EXISTING laws and reward those here illegally, who feel entitled to citizenship and as much FreeStuff as they can get.

My Dad came here at age 5 in 1921 from Sweden. I have a newspaper photo of him in his US Army Sargent’s uniform being sworn in as a US citizen. He has a huge grin on his face.

My great-great-grandfather immigrated to the Republic of Texas from Prussia in 1840. He finally became a citizen in 1855. The reason it took so long was he thought the paperwork was done but some clerk somewhere didn’t file it.
Even though the US is in a slump (at best) we are still the greatest nation on Earth!

Happy citizenship day and thank you for your story. It’s good to read and to know how much becoming a citizen meant and still means to you. I suppose the state of immigration today should anger you more than the average citizen.
