 My name is Sajin Abenedo. I'm an electrician in the United States Marine Corps. This is my story. So back in Ghana in 2007, I was very lucky to have been chosen out of this national visa lottery program that brought me to the United States. It helped me arrive in the U.S. on August 20, 2008. I just went to a recruiting office the next day. They were surprised and shaped out to bookend October 14. And since then, I've been a Marine. I was very lucky to be chosen on a mission with the Ghana Armed Forces. I went down to Ghana, my homeland, where I got an opportunity to meet my family by taking my Marines over there. We had a nice dinner and lunch. My family is very proud of me of making it that far in the Marine Corps. That was my dream. And they are really proud of me because I'm still serving. By combining the individual capabilities of the USMC and the Armed Forces of Ghana, we advance shared goals and our commitment to work together. Thank you.
