Iranian-born Sona Babai was among 7,000 others who became U.S. citizens at ceremonies in Pomona. She joined family here six years ago.
Sona Babai counts good health, a loving mother-in-law and 10 children as the biggest blessings of a long and fruitful life.
But there was one more thing she wanted: American citizenship.
So the native of Iran placed her hand over her heart, pledged allegiance to the flag and Wednesday became one of the nation's newest citizens to be sworn in.
