103-year-old Cambodian woman becomes a U.S. citizen
23 August 2017
- A 103-year-old Cambodian woman who survived famine, suffering and war in her native land beamed and waved a tiny American flag on Tuesday as she became a United States citizen.
Hong Inh was the oldest of more than 10,000 people who took the oath of allegiance in a cavernous room at the downtown Convention Center in Los Angeles.
She came to the United States when she was about 97 years old to join a daughter and other relatives.
Three generations of her family, from her 80-year-old daughter Hieng Meng to 13-year-old great-granddaughter Melissa Tea, were on hand for the ceremonies.
She has 30 grandchildren and great-grandchildren living in the U.S. and Cambodia.
Her relatives helped Inh up from a wheelchair and she stood with a flag in her raised hand to receive the oath. Her grandson spoke the words but she joined in the roar of applause at its conclusion...
