I was born in Germany....And I'm brown-skinned...makes me a little fearful, but I'll be damned if the rethugs make me change anything in my life!

Any other DUer's in the same boat?

at that time he was an artillery officer. We were station in Dachau. Both my slightly older brother (11-months) and I were born in Munich.

Choice is more meaningful than an accident of birth. I hope no one misunderstands me. I am loyal to my country and want to hold it to the highest standards. But I never had to make a choice or swear an oath. Changing your citizenship is not done lightly I would imagine. I have immense respect for naturalized citizens.
