Carlos Sandoval is a guy in my shop who was born in Nicaragua. He's lived in the States for 11 years, but it wasn't until today that he became a US Citizen. The ceremony was in Salt Lake City today, and I stopped in on my way to Vegas to catch it. There was 198 people from 53 different countries taking the oath. The whole thing only took about an hour. After they all took the oath, they passed around a microphone to a few people so they could say why they were so glad to be a US citizen. It was so touching and awe-inspiring to hear what some of these people went through. All I had to do was get born in Indiana. It makes me feel so humble and fortunate.
