Sailors become U.S. citizens

A pity the online edition didn't include the pictures. Above the fold was a nice shot of Nigerian-born Petty Officer Third Class Olatunde Lawal, having taken the oath of citizenship, pledging allegiance to the flag and the Republic for which it stands.

Another photo the paper edition had a Croatian-born Petty Officer Second Class with about twelve years' service time on her record -- the one Croatian-born citizen in the bunch.

It's the first time we've done anything like this on this base.
