On March 1, 2022, Cincinnati Members of the Sons of the American Revolution Jack Bredenfoerder and Jerry Knight, and Mary Lou Knight welcomed forty-five new citizens representing twenty-nine countries at a Naturalization Ceremony held at the Irish Heritage Center on Eastern Avenue in Cincinnati
Presiding Magistrate Judge Karen L. Litkovitz and Emily Hiltz (U.S. District Court) administered the oath of citizenship for the forty-five new citizens.
Many of our newest citizens were very happy to have their photos taken with the two Cincinnati Sons of the American Revolution representatives.

These two were dressed in period correct uniforms of those who fought to establish the United States, nurture the new form of constitutional government as well as represent our military who continue to safeguard our liberty and freedom.
