More Than 9,000 New Citizens were welcomed by USCIS during the Citizenship Day Celebration
On Sept. 17, 2010, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) celebrated the Constitution day and Citizenship day. In commemoration of the day, USCIS hosted 63 special ceremonies during which more than 9,000 candidates were granted USA citizenship. USCIS collaborated with the National Park Service (NPS) and hosted special naturalization ceremonies from Sept. 13, 2010 until Sept. 24, 2010. The naturalization ceremonies were held in 22 national park sites based around the theme, "Embrace Citizenship-Experience America Through Your National Parks."
Alejandro Mayorkas, USCIS Director stated that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services celebrates the Constitution and Citizenship Day every year in commemoration of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. He further added that, although U.S. citizens are diverse in their individual backgrounds, they are brought together by their respect for the Constitution.
As part of the Constitution and Citizenship Day commemoration, USCIS welcomed 25 new citizens at the foot of the General Grant's Tree on Sept. 15, 2010. This tree is the largest giant sequoia in the Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park in Three Rivers, California. This ceremony was followed by the naturalization of 60 citizens at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, St. Louis, Mo on Sept. 17, 2010. Another highlight of this Constitution and Citizenship Day commemoration is the cornerstone ceremony that was hosted by USCIS at the Lincoln Memorial on Sept. 22, 2010.
In addition to these ceremonies, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services also held several other national parks ceremonies. Several other locations where USCIS held these special ceremonies include Grand Canyon, Homestead National Monument, the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in Lowa, the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Mo., the historic Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, the Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the Angel Island State Park in the middle of San Francisco Bay.
