More than anything it is that 'Spirit of Liberty' that must be rekindled in our fellow citizens - and congratulations on your first of many Independence Day's to come as a citizen. Thank you many times over for all you are doing to help preserve it.
Your article provides a very welcome context for these words from Samuel Adams - one of my favorite quotes:
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Just as those words in the oath brought you to tears, yours have brought them to mine. Independence forever!
Congrats! As a Canadian, I dream of one day becoming an American citizen too!
