This is the Certificate of Naturalization that my grandfather got to earn his citizenship when he immigrated to the US from Greece. He came to New York with almost no money and had to make a living for himself in a country where he didn't know the language in order to build a better future for his children and grandchildren. Because of the lack of economic opportunities in Greece at the time, he felt that immigrating here would be the best decision for the future generations of his family, so they could have the opportunities that he couldn't. This is important to my family because it represents all the hard work he did for us to live comfortable lives.
