 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. Twenty-five service members and spouses became American citizens July 4th at the White House. President Barack Obama said our diversity and differences when joined together by common ideals make our nation stronger. And then many of you did something extraordinary. You signed up to serve in the United States military. You answered the call to fight and potentially to give your life for a country that you didn't fully belong to yet. You understood what makes us American is not just circumstances of birth or the names in our family tree. It's that timeless belief that for many we are one. The President also said what makes America strong is the basic idea of welcoming immigrants to our shores and it's central to our way of life.
