You are posting this question too many times.

You don't break your continuous residence until you've made 1 continuous trip that took 6 months or longer. But even if you did, this would have no effect on your Green Card as long as you maintained your US residence. If you sold everything before leaving, abandoned your apartment, sold your car and your dog, and planed on not coming back you would have a problem. Otherwise your problem would begin once you were absent from the US in 1 trip that lasts 1 year or longer.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
