Citizenship

Uploaded: February 16, 2009

Description

Photo taken of a gift I received from some dear friends when I became a U.S. Citizen in 1980.
I was born in Toronto Canada. When I turned 13 my Father who worked for Massey Ferguson was transferred to Iowa. Where I lived, married my first husband and had three beautiful children. I felt if was very important to be able to voice my opinions and be able to vote.
I am placing this image the MT. Belonging to both countries is a beautiful thing.
