The ceremony's about to begin!

50+ people fill outdoor chairs intended for participants and audience. Some are talking, shading their faces, looking around, and looking to the stage.

Despite direct sunlight and hot metal folding chairs, candidates, sponsors, friends, and family filled the chairs near the stage for this year's Flag Day Naturalization Ceremony. For many born outside the United States, the path to US citizenship is long and arduous. A Naturalization Ceremony celebrates the history of citizenship in the United States and the individuals who are completing their path to citizenship and are ready to experience life as full US citizens. Congratulations to the 25 new US citizens who took their oath of Allegiance!
