Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff spent Nov. 11 in Iraq, where he participated in a ceremony for 178 foreign-born service members to become U.S. citizens. "I can't think of people who are more deserving of citizenship than those who are fighting to defend the country even before they are citizens," Chertoff said. "They understand that freedoms don't come free and they are willing to make sacrifices even before they reap the benefits of citizenship."
The ceremony took place at Camp Anaconda, some 50 miles north of Baghdad.
