6 years ago today, I became a citizen of this fine country. Proud to be an American, proud of my German heritage, I still feel that this country represents everything it has in its Constitutional Promise. Although we are going through a rough patch right now, we are still Americans and looking around the world, we have it all. Don't forget that the freedoms we take for granted are all based on an experiment that is called: Democracy. It's fragile, it needs tender love and care. I am willing to fulfill that promise.
I pledged the oath of allegiance. So, let's get our hopes up and be the best that we can be. After all, we owe it to the rest of the world around us. Lots of love, from a 'filthy' immigrant.
