Greetings,

Last weekend, my family and I visited our oldest son, Marc, and our daughter-in-law, Elissa, in southern California. Marc is a Marine JAG Officer stationed at Camp Pendelton and will be deployed to Iraq later this month. We attended a San Diego Padres game Sunday afternoon where U.S. military veterans were being honored for their service in celebration of Independence Day. I was moved by the patriotism displayed by the 40,000+ fans in the stadium. We truly live in a great country and citizen pride for the United States extends from coast to coast!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend a Naturalization Ceremony at the Shoreview Ramsey County Library. 28 individuals from 15 countries pledged their allegiance to our country for the first time. The process to become a U.S. citizen is extensive and takes many months, if not years. At events such as this one, United States citizenship is celebrated, embraced and treasured.

Enjoy the remainder of your Independence Day week!
