35 applications from 17 countries obtain U. S. citizenship.
Most of us were born to citizenship, they earned theirs.

San Jacinto Museum of History George Donnelly welcomed the new citizens to the San Jacinto Battleground where Texas won her Independence from Mexico in 1836. He stressed that this battlefield represents the universal striving of all people to be free and independent. The new citizens today were proof that the desire continues.
