Congratulations, Ernie!
Dude, I am not reading "You Take that Flag" again just now. Last time, I couldn't stop crying. Hours later a line from it would pop into my head, and I'd start all over again.

If it's any consolation, my dear Bekah, tears were pouring down my cheeks in childlike rivulets as I composed it.
Cheers,
Victoria

It is indeed!
Also, I lied. I couldn't keep myself from reading it again, right after I said I wouldn't. I still can't breathe through my nose.

OMG! You guys made me cry just now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It is such a great HONOR to be able to call myself part of this country's citizenry. It has been a long arduous process, but it is finally over. I love my country!

I don't think anything is more heartening--especially when it seems like things are so dark--than to read that there are still people who want to come here, love America, and want to be Americans themselves.
