The person holding the Stars and Stripes in the background at 3:52 is me. 30 years later, in October 2007, I became a US citizen.

[@paulberry2884]

@@EmilyHartley25989 nope. I didn't even visit until I was 36.

I became a citizen in 2020, originally from Cheshire. I currently reside just down the street (literally) from Mt. Vernon in VA where that Tulip tree was taken from. It's a great place to visit. All the best.

I met President Carter at Heathrow. He shook my hand, and said “gee, your hands are cold.”
