I believe they will all obey their oaths to the United States. It makes me happy to see this.

So cool it is impossible to describe.

"I believe they will all obey their oaths to the United States."
Unlike Senator Durbin who violated his oath to uphold Aricle VI, Clause 3 of the US Constitution during his questioning of Judge Roberts.

Those sworn in as US citizens came from 46 countries, with the single largest group born in Mexico (27), followed by the Philippines (15)
My cousin, who was born in the Philippines, is in the U.S Marines, and as far as I know, he isn't a citizen yet, but he is on the fast track to citizenship.

This is the best example the United States of America can show to the world what citizenship means to us. But will the MSM carry this story? Don't hold your breath, ay?
Viva America!

And all I had to do was to be born in the United States.
I am humbled and, at the same time, proud that these are now my fellow soldiers and CITIZENS.

HOOOOOOOOOAH! (indefinite re-enlistment here!)
That palace is amazing. The marble is incredible. Then you see the parts that the JDAM's hit and its just the typical brick and mortar construction behind it. All the shiny arabic script on the walls within hands reach were stolen, the chandeliers had glass instead of crystal, etc, etc.
Still, it is amazing so much money was put into this place, then within 5 minutes you are driving past mud huts along a highway with no guardrails.

Still, it is amazing so much money was put into this place, then within 5 minutes you are driving past mud huts along a highway with no guardrails. Totalitarianism at its best. And people wonder whether or not we should have taken down Saddam Hussein. I never had a doubt.
My hearty congratulations and welcome to 147 new U.S. Citizens!

A BIG welcome to our new citizens. May God bless them and keep them safe.
And a BIG welcome to your cousin as well. I hope his "citizenship day" comes very soon. ;o)
