BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (May 26, 2008) – More than 40 Soldiers and Marines received U.S. citizenship here today in a ceremony administered by the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff.
Chertoff made a brief stop here to give the oath of citizenship to 44 troops from 21 different countries who are serving in the War on Terror here in a large ceremony.
“It takes an incredibly dedicated person to serve in a military of a country that they are not yet a citizen of,” Chertoff said. He commended the Soldiers and Marines for their courage and commitment in the face of danger for a nation built on immigrants, just like them.
