In August, there were two Naturalization ceremonies where almost 120 new US Citizens were sworn in to become citizens of the greatest country on the planet.

On Friday August 11th, Cincinnati SAR members Gerry Knight and Jack Bredenfoerder attended the ceremony where 57 new US Citizens from 28 countries were welcomed as new US Citizens.

Every month, the Cincinnati Sons of the American Revolution (CCSAR) attend and participate in welcoming these newest of US citizens. The legal entry process is very rigorous and lengthy. Every month, more non US Citizens pursue this legal route to citizenship. The reward is to become a citizen of the US. We are lucky to live in a country where individuals are intended to have their interests represented by our elected officials.
