RT FAN Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Welcome aboard! I hope the transition to the native language wasn't too difficult. What was it Henry Higgins said: "In America they haven't spoken for years." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Congrats on an awesome accomplishment. IMHO A person that serves with our US Armed Services and is honorably discharged should receive a US citizenship! I've heard of a plan (that gained no traction by the way) very similar to this. It was mandatory military service for illegal aliens with citizenship after an honorable discharge. It's fallen by the wayside along with drug testing welfare recipients for eligibility purposes. Both programs failed as they involved common sense.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max2 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Congratulations. Now Max2 will let you vote, own a weapon and teach in our schools. I'm not so sure I would be admitting in public about that English part though... You're right. MKP did it the right way and in my eyes deserves to be an American more than many that are born here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiminSTL Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hip Hip...Right Upstanding and outstanding! Hey, billybob, are you a former "military man" yourself? I suspect that not everyone knows about "Bravo Zulu", and some may not make the effort to look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick J B Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Congratulations. Now Max2 will let you vote, own a weapon and teach in our schools. I'm not so sure I would be admitting in public about that English part though... First of all, congratulations. Oldtimer … lay off the Brits (i actually wouldn’t be upset if i was one). Pretty cool things come out of England…Queen, Pink Floyd, Yes, some very attractive women too; and there are even Raider fans there. I was told that two weeks ago, you couldn’t find things pertaining to the Miami Dolphins; but, there was Oakland Raiders stuff all over. So we’re obviously talking about a pretty smart country. The Raiders............................................LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 There is not much to add to what others here have said how about, “I’m William F. Gil McDermott and drinks are on me next citizenship day.” That would be nice of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thank you all for your kind words. It really was a big deal for me. When I was pledgeing my allegiance, I started to get choked-up toward the end (yeh I am a bad a** with feelings) :-) Even the great response You all gave to this thread gets to me. I was thinking I would get a few thumbs-up. Thanks again.... To the couple of members that wanted to know what kind of shop I have. My wife and I own a auto repair shop. I specialize in Honda/Acura cars. It's just me and the wife no other mechanics. Millcreekmotorworks.com If you go to my profile there is a link there Take care all.... Mark..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
