Our adopted son from Poland, with special needs, becoming an American citizen about 8 years ago View attachment 162568

Do you know how it works for people who can't understand the citizenship test or answer questions?

I'm not saying it's the case with your son but I imagine some people can't take the standard test.

I am always amazed when watching Patriot Games when the palace band is playing The Stars and Stripes Forever.

Not sure. As he was adopted and not immigrating, I believe process is different. He was about 3 when we adopted him.

My own opinion, if you can’t understand the test or answer the questions you are not ready to become a citizen.

What one is better? I like the imagery of Uncle Sam, but I also like the simple approach. The first one seems like just a "stop bad people" thing, but the Uncle Sam one seems almost like a call to arms.

OK, I changed it some. Simplified the busy one. I think I'm happy. Don't really need the little minute man guy on there. Got carried away...

Old Uncle Sam. With America's pistol

A more publicly acceptable version. Uncle Sam, no bullet launcher.
This is the one I'm getting a T-shirt made up of.

I posted these in a different thread but decided they needed a little more exposure.

Going to ask a question not being sarcastic, but does the ink kill the hair follicles?

Nope, grows in just like before. The ink doesn’t go as deep as the hair. I don’t remember the exact terminology but the ink is fairly shallow, it’s under a couple layers of skin.

Thanks I was just wondering.

So is there a procedure you are supposed to follow for the retirement process?
