LSA ANACONDA — Several service members became American citizens during a ceremony Sunday at Logistics Support Area Anaconda in Balad. Several dignitaries spoke to the near-capacity crowd at LSA Anaconda’s Sustainer Theater. Brig. Gen. Michael J. Terry, 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Commanding General, delivered the keynote speech. Terry told the new citizens there is probably no other situation or investment, except serving your Lord, in which a person can give up so little and receive so much more in return. “Becoming an American can have nothing to do with birth or ancestry.” Terry said. “That is because America is an idea, not a race.” Spec. Simon Muturi, originally from Kenya, was among the service members earning American citizenship. He said he would continue to be a Kenyan at heart, but wants to be an American. |
