I think I remember telling you guys about the fact that I had applied to be a citizen to this great country, the USA.

Well, on November 9 2005, I was given my paperwork and got a handshake from an INS officer telling me congratulations. I just got the papaerwork telling me my ceremony is next week.

I already went out and bought my "Proud to be American" sign and it is hanging in the shop with pride.

I am SO proud to be a part of this blessed country..Thanks for reading.

Thanks

Rob,
Congratulations to you, and thanks for the reminder - for all of the things with which we are blessed.

OBTW, we recently received the paperwork confirming my son's US citizenship. It was both a proud day and a relief.

Bigtime congrats, Rob. We'll expect some pics sooner or later to confirm the gloat, of course, but we'll let you slide for now, seeing as how you are new and all. BTW, does this mean we can no longer refer to you as "that durned Limey"? :D

Once a Limey, always a Limey............:-) I do get dual citizenship so I will still have the Limey in me.

Thanks y'all

Congratulations Rob. Sometimes we forget just what a nice little country we actually have here.
It takes spmeone like you to help us to remember this. Thank you for that.

Of course there is one little facet to Thanksgiving that they forget to tell you about in the "brochures".. Can we say "Inlaws":D

Once again Rob Congratulations

A hearty congratulations, Rob, on your citizenship! I'm personally proud to know you and glad to welcome you to "the tribe", especially with recent events of a similar nature in this household. This country was built on people of every background and family origin and is stronger because of it...you add to that strength with your commitment.

Congratulations Ron....I attended my BL's citizenship ceremony several years ago (he hails from your neck of the world) and was very touched & impressed by the excitement most felt at becoming a citizen. Pretty cool to see so many from all across the globe realizing a dream. Welcome and thanks for coming.
