We had the honor of naturalizing 38 New Orleans residents as #NewUSCitizens at storied Gallier Hall, which was designed by an Irish immigrant to the city in the 1800’s. Mayor Cantrell welcomed them enthusiastically after they took the Oath of Allegiance. As they begin their lives as Americans, we hope they celebrate all that their new country has to offer, especially the delicious cultural fusion of foods in The Big Easy!

On the 80th anniversary of #DDay, we honor #MedalOfHonor recipient, Macario Garcia. Originally from Mexico, Garcia joined the US Army at the start of WWII. He was assigned to Company B, 22d Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. As a Private, Garcia participated in the historic Allied D-Day invasion at Normandy, France where he was wounded. Garcia recovered and rejoined his unit as they advanced across occupied France into Germany. On Nov. 27, 1944, Garcia’s company was pinned down by intense machine gun fire and subjected to a concentrated artillery and mortar barrage on their position near Grosshau, Germany. Although painfully wounded, as squad leader, Garcia refused to be evacuated and on his own initiative crawled forward alone until he reached a position near an enemy emplacement. Hurling grenades, he boldly assaulted the position, destroyed the gun, and with his rifle killed three of the enemy who attempted to escape. When he rejoined his company, a second machine gun opened fire and again the intrepid soldier went forward, utterly disregarding his own safety. He stormed the position and destroyed the gun, killed three more Germans, and captured four prisoners. He fought on with his unit until the objective was taken and only then did he permit himself to be removed for medical care. Our Miami field office is dedicated to the memory of this immigrant #MedalOfHonor recipient. Learn more about Garcia's story: https://lnkd.in/eEKPx3Tj #ImmigrantHeritageMonth
