It sounds corny but their is something about it that makes me feel not only welcomed but dare I say it..... proud to be a US citizen. (and I am not overly patriotic)
Funny you shuold mention that - I'd had the same warm fuzzy feelings when an immigration officer tell me that (and I've heard it a few times returning to the US).

Certainly makes me feel welcomed back to my country!
