41. Congratulations. My great grandparents came to America one hundred years ago
and they traveled from Hungary through the Netherlands and eventually got to America.

Congratulations to your husband for getting his American citizenship.

28. Congratulations to you both and to The U.S. and the
Netherlands! My parents stayed in Holland (Den Hague) for several years, and they both loved it, as did all of their offspring on visits! I still long for the tulips! I have so many Dutch mementos (Delft China and the like) ...and lots of photos of the gorgeous tulips.

42. A hearty and red white and blue congratulations
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 10:30 PM by Jersey Devil
My Grandpa, who jumped ship and joined the American Army to fight in France during WWI thanks him. My Uncle Tim, who fought as a WWII Army Air Corps Navigator on a B-17 thanks him. My Uncle Frank who fought as a member of the US Marine Corps at Iwo Jima thanks him, and I, who never fought in any war but opposed the war in Viet Nam and now the savage and nonsensical war in Iraq thank him and ask him to consider that true American patriotism does not necessarily include service in wartime armed forces units. It does include a true dedication to the principles of justice and liberty for all.

46. Welcome, Mr. Helderheid!
I would love to give the man a handshake and a hug and welcome him to my country. Failing that, I'll just send the both of you metaphysical (((hugs))) n {{{shakes}}}.

47. Congrats! It is still what made this country great!
I for one believe that eventually the people of this country will realize that there is much more benefit from having a diverse population, and a common heritage that everyone except native Americans immigrated here.

You must be very proud. Welcome!
