Military service members and a few of their spouses took oaths to become U.S. citizens on Tuesday aboard the USS Midway Museum as part of Citizenship and Immigration Service’s celebration of Independence Day.
The ceremony is one of about 175 events the agency is holding across the country to naturalize more than 14,000 people around the Fourth of July.
“This day will have new meaning for you,†Rear Admiral Yancy Lindsey, commander of the Navy Region Southwest, told the new citizens in San Diego. “It will be your Independence Day, your day to celebrate, along with your fellow citizens, this place we call home.â€
