This story of a man who had never been a citizen of *any* country, made me tear up.

'The morning of his naturalization ceremony, he
put on a suit and knotted his red, white and blue tie. He pinned an American flag to his lapel. He was ready to become an American...
'I feel like a newborn baby...Today is like a new life. I’ve never been a citizen in all my life. Today means I have a new future...In this country, I feel more free than ever before.'
And the judge who presided over the ceremony? I melt:

"I truly believe that today, you made our country stronger because you decided to become part of the United States...
..I firmly believe with all my heart that you shouldn't give up anything that you bring to this country, especially your ability to speak other languages and understand other cultures, and it’s critical to our future.”
