September 17 is Constitution Day. On Constitution day 2012 Homestead National Monument of America hosted a Naturalization Ceremony. During the Ceremony 43 people became new citizen of the United States. There was a good sized crowd present at the ceremony including many family members of the new citizens and some school groups, including a group from Wisconsin viewing the ceremony through a distance learning computer connection. Some of the countries the new citizen were from included Mexico, Sudan, Germany, Burkina Faso, Vietnam, China, Somalia and many others. The ceremony was a very nice way to welcome the new citizen and it seemed to be enjoy by all in attendence.
