Willems Desrosiers, right, an inventory management specialist with 3rd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, during a naturalization ceremony on Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, March 5, 2024. During the ceremony, a total of eight service members and Status of Forces Agreement personnel from six different countries received their U.S. citizenship and naturalization certificates, commemorated by a recital of the Oath of Allegiance. After fulfilling the requirements to become a citizen, established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, U.S. citizenship is officially granted to a foreign citizen through a naturalization ceremony. Pacatte is a native of Nevada and Desrosiers is a native of Haiti. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Alex Fairchild)
