I'm glad you threw your lot in with us, John. We need everyone possible working for freedom—freedom of water, freedom of people. You're someone who knows they're connected. Loved your mental asides while answering the questions! :-D
A great read John, thanks. I wonder if everyone who gains citizenship is as clear on their reasons as you were. I am assuming so but perhaps some do it for the more vague reason of a better life.
Did you feel it was anti-climactic and wished for the ceremony or were you glad with the lack of pomp? I know if I was a US citizen I would be pretty happy to hear that you hopped on board, I admit to wishing you were north of that border instead!
A test to become a US citizen... provoked my images of sho’ ‘nuf natural born ones, real ‘Muricans, intent on decimating the fabric of our country. “Nevertheless she persisted” could be a rallying cry for those that want America to persist.

I was rather emotional when I swore my allegiance and I felt like I betrayed my motherland. 🤣
Immigration is murky waters from what I hear from my friends in America. I am glad things have been smooth for you this far.
This is the first time I've listened to the audio version....I love it!

Thank you John. Great story. I'm just sorry you can't be President!
My spouse got his after living here for 20 years, too. It does prompt a tangle of questions.
Thanks for sharing! I listened to the recording and I realized that hearing your voice made this moment in your life come alive for me. 🇺🇸
I’m glad you did it. Beautiful ferry photo!
