They Earned It

222 sailors sworn in as Americans under presidential order .

They came here and volunteered to risk their lives for a nation that they didn't officially belong to. They understand the American Dream and appreciate the sacrifice that has to be made from time to time to ensure that perpetuation of that dream.

They came here with the hope of one day being able to call themselves "an American citizen." They have worked and sacrificed to be able to call themselves " an American citizen." And today, they can go home calling themselves "an American citizen."

Congratulations, gentlemen. You've earned your citizenship.
