Forty-seven immigrants from twenty countries became U.S. citizens in a vibrant Fourth of July ceremony in Southport, North Carolina — part of a 200-year tradition celebrating America’s founding. From Brazil to Vietnam, these new citizens shared stories of resilience, name changes, and dreams fulfilled. Dr. Yousry Sayed, a 1978 naturalized citizen, urged them to honor the people who helped them, live with integrity, and never make excuses. Families cheered, local groups hosted receptions, and the event embodied America’s promise: opportunity, belonging, and a fresh start — celebrated right before Independence Day.
