LEWISTON, Maine — Maine will have dozens of new citizens this Independence Day.
One of more than 20 naturalization ceremonies held last month around the country as part of Flag Day festivities took place at Lewiston Middle School, where 52 people from 23 countries were sworn in as U.S. citizens.
U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services says ceremonies were held in more than 20 communities from Mystic, Conn., to Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
In Maine, those who were sworn in came from countries ranging from Argentina, Bulgaria and China to Iraq, Poland and Somalia.
Congratulations and welcome!
Welcome. Thank you for doing it right.
speak english please…
I agree. I promise that if I move to your country, within a year i will learn as much of your language that i can communicate. Please do the same here in America, and welcome to the United States. I dont really feel good about adding the land of the free and home of the brave, cause quite frankly, its not true.
Congrats!
I always like these stories.
