Citizenship Day

Guide Extra: 9/17/99

September 17 used to be called "I am an American Day" & "Constitution Day" but in 1952, "Citizenship Day" became the official name. Whatever you call it, today is a day to celebrate membership in one great Community -- The United States of America.

In Celebrating Citizenship About.com Guides to Immigration Issues, Jennifer & Peter Wipf, present the history Citizenship Day and the meaning and value of American Citizenship. I think you'll find their article both informative and moving.

Happy Citizenship Day!
