      This led me to a nice thread about a naturalization ceremony:https://twitter.com/RMFifthCircuit/status/977557053538471937 …

      This is wonderful. As many of you know, I'm a naturalized citizen. My parents are naturalized citizens. Our ceremonies rank up with my wedding and the birth of my son as the best days in my life: for I was given a home that opened its arms to me. https://twitter.com/chris_j_walker/status/977259793869103105 …

      My own took place in Brattleboro, Vermont in 1998. It is not a treasured memory like the OP, but that's just because I think the whole concept of countries is silly. It meant obtaining a vital document without which I would have been completely at wits' end.

      The presiding judge said something civic minded about citizenship, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Women's Auxilliary (average age:78) had baked brownies for us. The cub scouts or boy scouts sang something. It was a corny piece of Americana, and I loved it

      The people getting citizenship were about a 50/50 mix of Canadians or Brits named things like "Jane Brown" and people from God knows where called "M'bwo[*click*]ne" or "Cegłowski" getting their names butchered in Federal court for hopefully the last time. Then we swore an oath

      I almost didn't make it to this ceremony because of my final pre-citizenship interview—the one where you answer ten questions about the constitution and basic civics, and prove you can speak English. My New Hampshire examiner dismissed me because I had moved out of state

      I wasn't aware of the rule that you had to be examined in the state of your residence, and gave him some lip about this being Federal citizenship. At that point he threatened to summarily cancel my application and I had to grovel. I was 23 and had lived in the US 17 years

      My next examiner, in the bureaucratically correct Vermont, was one of the kindest public servants I ever met. You get all kinds.

      My one wish for natural-born Americans is that they be required, at age 18, to go through the same civics test and citizenship ceremony that all of us who came here from abroad go through, and join the people being naturalized in that courtroom.

      And best of luck out there to all those waiting in the lengthening citizenship queue, or waiting for a green card, or stressing out over the fiancé visa interview, or simply living here in daily fear of an ICE deportation squad. To all of my fellow immigrants I say: Hail Hydra!
