TNA.25Description
I came to the U.S. in 1941. I raised a family here. My daughter is with me. She's a sheriff's deputy in Los Angeles. My grandson is with me, too. He's a Marine. This is a very exciting day for me, for my whole family. I'm very happy and proud because this is the American dream - to make a better life for your family. I have contributed to this country, and I feel very patriotic right now. So, I decided that I wanted to become a citizen after all these years because I feel like it's a privilege to be a citizen, and I've earned that.
