Pledge of Allegiance
My friend Emina Kadric went through her naturalization ceremony yesterday. She sent me the following pictures. We joked about all the national history she had to learn that I had forgotten. I believe most Americans take for granted their freedom and liberty, but seeing how happy Emina was, made me realize how great we have it. I'm extremely happy for her, because it is no small feat, and she can now enjoy the same priviliages I was born with.

Yeah, being adopted from Vietnam... I didn't actually become a US Citizen until I was about 10-12 or so? I don't remember. But I do remember standing there in the courthouse, right hand over my heart, and all that jazz... I still have the "Welcome to the USA" letter from freaking Ronald Reagan!
Now I wonder about other things... like was I ever actually a citizen of Vietnam? Can I get dual citizenship? Because that would be the high heat!
