One of the owners of the I and J restauarant is from Poland and after much hard work, she became a U.S. Citizen on this forth of July. I had never been to one of these services before and must say it was a privilege. There were 300 people from 60 different countries being sworn in as American Citizens after meeting all the requirements and passing the test.
There were camera's..........
a full auditorium of friends and families
People helping the elderly that didn't speak English (there is an exception for those over 65 years)
There were speaches and music and at the end of the ceremony they played the song (I am proud to be an American by Lee Greenwood).......all 300 stood and sang as they waved their flags.
Congratulations Izabela!! We are proud of you......................

oh, that is awesome! what a great experience!
An exciting and appropriate way to celebrate the Fourth!
Some times they are more excited to be Americans then we are sometimes to be Americans. We take it for granted and bascially we are so blessed and lucky!
Great July 4th memories!
These 300 know more about our country than 3,000 Americans born here and maybe even more which is sad. I think it is wonderful for us to welcome all our legal citizens. Peace
... AND we LOVE her dress! :D
One day....
A girl can have new dreams right???
