319th Air Base Wing Public Affairs
1/15/2015 - GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- Today the Warriors of the North recognized six of their fellow Airmen in a special way.
During the wing quarterly awards ceremony held Jan. 15 more than 250 civilians and service members witnessed six Airmen from various units on base being recognized for becoming U.S. citizens in 2014.
"Over the past year these individuals have worked diligently to become American citizens," said Tech. Sgt. Brooke Scott, who served as one of the ceremony's emcees. "Through hard work and perseverance they were each deemed naturalized citizens. They have dedicated their lives not only to the United States Air Force, but the United States of America. On behalf of Colonel Paul Bauman please join us in congratulating them on their important achievement."
The six Airmen were:
Airmen 1st Class Danny Pham from the 319th Logistics Readiness Squadron ; Irinieta Tabuyaqona from the 319th Contracting Flight and Hugo Degan from the 319th Force Support Squadron, who were naturalized Aug. 22 2014.
