[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1649318, member: 18945"] I know lots of expats from online conversations on other boards, mostly living in the P.I, Panama, S. Korea and a few in Germany. They live in other nations either for economic reasons or because they married someone there and it was easier to stay there than to convince their new wife to leave her extended family.. or both. They usually choose to have dual citizenship if possible. Most of the ones I converse with are people that were formerly on active duty in US Armed Forces. To me, it doesn't make them any less American than anyone posting here in CT is. Where you live doesn't always or even often change where your heart and allegiance lies. There are about 9 million US expats living abroad and under US law, all are still US citizens unless they legally renounce US citizenship.
