And God bless you and your family Crapgame. You remind me of one my closest friends (now mind, I’m in by late 60s), Juan C______. Juan was a LEGAL resident alien in the 60s. He enlisted in the Army, Infantry, fought in Vietnam (CIB and other recognitions), married another wonderful friend of ours Leticia, born here in Texas, they had two children.
Juan decided to get his citizenship after coming home from VN (and working for another few years), I asked him why he waited so long? He said, and I kid you not, “I wanted to make sure I EARNED my citizenship”. Juan asked me and my wife to be his sponsors when he was granted citizenship in the Brownsville, Texas federal courthouse.
It was an humbling honor to do so and we NEVER take citizenship in this country lightly or cheaply, especially not after Juan. Juan is who I measure citizens against when we talk of these things. Where are you Juan?
“And God bless you and your family Crapgame”
Amen!
ALL: I’m starting an AMNESTY PING LIST. Let me know if you want on it.
