September 17 was designated as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the signing of the Constitution in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. This year marks the U.S. Constitution’s 225th anniversary!
Many special Naturalization Ceremonies are being held at different locations across the country to honor this special day and anniversary!
