Bernd Larsen is a very good friend of mine. He was born and raised in Denmark but a few years ago, after a rather lengthy process, became a US citizen. Shortly after this occurred he sent me a copy of a letter he wrote about the experience. I have added it to this post because it provides a unique view on US citizenship and I think all who are citicens or want to become citizens of this country should read it.
If you know Bernd like I do you can only smile at the visual image of him waving an American flag with “gusto” or ” going to Cuba and then getting on a raft and sailing to Miami”.
