Coming to America

Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, the Honorable Michael Chertoff, addresses Sailors and Marines during a naturalization ceremony aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway Museum. More than 130 San Diego based service members, representing 35 different countries were sworn in as citizens of the United States during the Veterans Day ceremony.

This event happened on November 11, 2008 - Veterans Day. It is always comforting to realize that many, many peoples from around the World look to the United States of America as the land of opportunity. These peoples willingly serve in our U. S. Military and also apply for citizenship in our Great Land.

Congratulations to these New Heroes of our Country!!!!!!
