This Week's Toast Goes To...
Ileana Pirozzi
Celebrating American citizenship with the NYC skyline
"Today I become a US citizen. After over a decade of sacrifice, friendships, love, and incredible opportunities, I finally stood to take the oath. As I swore to protect the American Constitution from foreign and domestic enemies, I am reminded that America's core strength and its undeniable competitive advantage is its people. That's what I vow to protect - the people that come to America not to make a better life, but to make a better world. Today I'm proud. I'm grateful. And I'm (finally) home."
— Ileana Pirozzi
Join us on at 5pm PT / 8pm ET to celebrate!
