In quite the moving ceremony, First Lady Melania Trump addressed 25 new citizens today at their swearing-in ceremony conducted in Washington, DC.
As reported by Emily Goodin of London’s DailyMail.com;
Melania Trump made a rare and dramatic public appearance to welcome new U.S. citizens as she told them of her own deeply personal journey to becoming an American.
The former first lady gave a heartfelt speech celebrating 25 new citizens from 25 countries in a naturalization ceremony at the National Archives in Washington D.C.
Dressed in a black pantsuit, Melania told them how she had determinedly pursued her own American dream.
She said reaching the ‘milestone of citizenship’ had marked the ‘sunrise of certainty’ in her life.
‘You are American,’ she told the new citizens, adding that they should be ‘proud’ and to ‘stand your ground’.
Melania arrived in American from Slovenia in 1996 and became a U.S. citizen 10 years later.
