Wael had his oath ceremony this morning at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law.

We arrived at 9:00 and the ceremony began at 10:00. There were 26 candidates from 24 countries!

The law students had coffee and cookies for us. We were encourged to take pictures during the ceremony,

and the candidates and families were also encourged to speak about their journey to naturalization.

It was a moving and memorable experience for my husband and myself!! I cried

during most of the ceremony.

Also forgot to mention, there were representatives from Social Security,

Passports and Voter Registration for the candidates.

That sounds lovely. 26 people, coffee and cookies.

Los Angeles has 6000 people, twice a day, plus guests, and no coffee nor cookies!

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.
