There Goes the Neighborhood!!!
Today, in a Federal Courthouse of what should probably remain an undisclosed location, a certain person (let's call him "B") will take an oath and finally become a full-fledged American Citizen!!!! It's been a long hard slog for B, but Today is the day!
B says that he's been holding back until after he received his citizenship. Those of us who know him are terrified by this....if he considers that "holding back"...what the hell are we in store for now?
Congratulations, you new Yankee Doodle Dandy! You've worked hard for this day and totally deserve it!
all my love,
e

Ed: if this gallery thing doesn't work out for you, you may have a career as a PhotoShop Monkey. Congrats, 'B'!

Felicidades a Bambino! My sister-in-law just got hers in Newark. And my dad still remembers fondly (albeit vaguely) when he got his in 1930. I was born here, so I take it for granted. Well, at least we're all in NY where they don't pick you up merely on the basis of appearance (or do they?)
Congratulations to both of you! I remember the day my father did that-- it is certainly something special to see all those people take that oath.
Enjoy your momentous day.

Congrats to the Winkleman clan and the proud chosen country!
Congratulations to both of you!
I attended one such oath-taking ceremony and it moved me deeply. It made me feel proud to be an American and yet so aware that the privilege came to me through no effort on my part. Kudos to B for his efforts.
Congratulations Murat!! Welcome to the hallowed shores of this great nation. In honor of this occasion and to better understand your adopted land please view this song on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeDM_aP4IJc&feature=related

Congratulations B!
Congrats!
And to celebrate I am enclosing a nice video, one that taught me about America when I was a wee lad. (in the 80's) : )
