THANK YOU, A1C Elena Dulger, for becoming a citizen, for defending your adopted country, for participating in the electoral process, and for being the intelligent and well-rounded person that you are, to be enabled to accomplish all these things!

Would that ALL United States citizens acheive even half the accomplishments that you have realized.

But please don't abandon your plans for an advanced education.

We are indeed fortunate to have you in this great country!

CONGRATULATIONS, A1C Elena Dulger. You are a shinning example for all, especially the young people. You "got it" girl. Thank-you for serving our country. Best Wishes Always, and God Bless.

Methinks the Airman (Airwoman!) here could give Michelle Obama a few pointers on what it's like to come from REAL struggle.

Whoever she votes for, I hope Elena Dulger has a happy, fruitfull life in the United States of America.

Too few Americans understand or appreciate what they have. I think Dulger won't be one of them.

This is a great story and shows how one can be part of our great country legally. Good luck to A1C Dulger in all her future endeavors.

With Respect,

A fellow Air Force veteran
