Frank and I celebrated the 4th by walking up to Seattle Center (along with a whole bunch of other Seattleites) and watched 500 people from about a hundred different countries -- Australia to Vietnam and everything in between -- take the oath that transformed them into U.S. Citizens.
We listened to some speeches, sang God Bless America and then we all welcomed the newly minted citizens with a lot of cheering and applause.
When it was over, there wasn't a dry eye around. -

Thank you to all of our armed services... veterans and current alike...
It's because of all of you that we have an Independence Day to celebrate.

Jayne reminds me of a July 4 when I became an American citizen at the Flag Plaza at Seattle Center:) I shall always remember and be grateful for that day.
Some years later our adopted daughter from Korea was sworn in as a citizen--on another July 4.
Wonderful memories, Stella -

I can hear fireworks going off in the distance as I sit here in my office. (We can't see them because we live on a wooded lot.) But I'm about to join my husband for a glass of wine and some Boston Pops music and fireworks.
Happy 4th one and all! -

What a great day to be sworn in!
I spent the day working (don't ask!) and helped people find newspapers online...in Russian. And French. I helped people find information on global warming.... and Ann Coulter books. It just reminded me of what a great country we live in where so many different ideas and opinions can be written about freely and read about freely without fear of, well, anything.
Happy 4th of July! -

Happy Fourth of July from a VERY remote collateral descendent of one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence, John Adams--and danged proud of it!

On July 4 I watched some of our troops in Iraq be sworn in as citizens. (Apparently folks with a green card can enlist in our armed services and are offered a chance for citizenship.) It was a touching ceremony and afterwards the folks who were interviewed expressed their joy that they now belong to the country they are serving. Brought tears to my eyes. A reminder to appreciate this great country!
