From Service to Citizenship: Honoring Our Heroes

We had the honor of witnessing a moment that defines the American dream. USO Oklahoma proudly participated in a naturalization ceremony, welcoming dedicated service members as new U.S. citizens. Their commitment to this country—both in service and citizenship—is truly inspiring. We are grateful to be part of this milestone, celebrating the brave individuals who protect our freedoms.

These service members have already shown incredible dedication by defending our nation, and on this day, not only did they graduate from Basic Combat Training (BCT), they officially became part of the country they serve. Their journey to citizenship reflects the strength and diversity that make America great, and we are honored to stand alongside them in celebration. We hosted a small reception, for those new Soldiers without families/friends our volunteers made sure they were not alone to have someone to celebrate such a momentous occasion. Their sacrifices remind us of the profound connection between service and patriotism, and we will continue to support them as they build their futures as proud U.S. citizens. Congratulations to all the new citizens!
