God Bless the U.S.A.!

Today, we celebrated our friend and colleague Shem Odhiambo receiving his U.S. Citizenship, after living nearly six years in Georgia. Shem currently serves at The 410 Bridge home office in Alpharetta as our accountant. A native of Kenya, East Africa, he not only plays a significant part in handling the organization’s finances, but his insight into life in Kenya is invaluable! We are so happy for him and are thankful for his friendly presence and fun-loving spirit around the office.

We celebrated with all things red, white and blue, and even had some sparklers on hand for the festive occasion! Shem was proud to wave his American flag, place his hand over his heart and remind us of our country’s rich heritage.

Shem waving his American flag!
