Sergio's Independence Day

May 1, 2009 Sergio raised his right hand and took an oath to become an official citizen of the United States! What an awesome ceremony. For just our little neck of the woods in all northern Mississippi, 110 people were sworn in as citizens originating from 37 different countries. It was quite emotional for many and what an honor to be in their presence. Our country was built by immigrants and still grows strong today because of those who come, sacrifice, and strive to make this country a better place! Sergio said it wasn't easy taking the oath and he felt a huge lump in his throat as he spoke it out loud, but he knows this was the right decision. He has ALWAYS been so grateful for this country and all the opportunities it has blessed him with. He feels privileged to be a U.S. Citizen.
