My family & I became citizens when I was 16. It was a big deal.

My wife got hers about two years ago - it was lovely. Then six hours later she went into premature labor 9 weeks early.

I was naturalized back in 1991, in time to vote in the '92 election (and I voted for Clinton, and I'm damn proud I did). I was in college at the time, and my friends were shocked that I was not a citizen because I didn't have an accent...🤣

I went to my friend’s naturalization ceremony and was shocked to have so many feels, and actual tears. It was so powerful seeing the diversity of folks wanting to join our messy nation, and considering the lives they were leaving behind to do so.

My stepmom finally went and got her US citizenship last year after living in the US for ~40 years as a Canadian expat. She got to be part of a July 4 naturalization ceremony in Seattle.

My son at his, July 29, 2023. I made him wear a suit. Everybody else his age was in shorts. Before it started there were league of women voters ladies helping register folks to vote. He came back to where I was sitting and said mom, should I fill this out? I said Yes! And then I cried like a baby.

Have a coworker who just did hers a month ago. She was happily, excitedly, impressed about how much she enjoyed it.

I’ve been to a number of them with my wife (public defender doing deportation / removal defense) and I’ve never felt so patriotic!
