February 25, 2010 - David Feherty becomes U.S. citizen
CBS golf analyst and Golf Magazine columnist David Feherty turned briefly serious and emotional Tuesday as he officially became a U.S. citizen at the new Citizenship and Immigration Building in Irving, Texas.
"I wanted to be able to call them my soldiers, my pilots, my sailors," said the Dallas resident, a former citizen of the United Kingdom. "I have the benefit of living in this country and it is maintained by them. ... Thomas Jefferson said we need soldiers and teachers, and it is as true now as it was then." On Tuesday, he recited the oath of allegiance to the United States as he joined 30 other green-card holders in a citizenship ceremony.
