The Farr Group would like to thank all the men and woman who selflessly serve and served in the armed forces for their patriotism and willingness sacrifice for the common good.
Today’s post is in the spirit of Veteran’s Day:
USCIS recently announced that in fiscal year 2010 it granted citizenship to 11,146 members of the U.S. armed forces at ceremonies in the United States and 22 countries abroad. USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas stated “Many of our service members have risked their lives across the globe before becoming citizens here at home. Their brave acts, and those of more than 65,000 service members who have become citizens since 2001, demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to America [and] We are enriched by their decision to serve our nation and to join us as United States citizens.”
