So, I've been asking my wife the civics questions and she is getting pretty good but one of the easiest questions was giving her trouble. Name a war the US fought in the 1800s.  

She would say the Civil War sometimes but often one of the World Wars or whatever. I kept saying, Why don't you just remember the easiest one, the War of 1812.  

After telling her that several times she started getting mad.

Finally, last night, we figured out she thought I wanted her to say the war that was in 1812 and didn't know the War of 1812 was the name of a war.

I always celebrate the 24th August.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

My wife only sent the minimum required evidence when she filed by mail back in 2018.  I believe it was a marriage certificate and copies of her GC front and back.
