On this occasion we honor our youth of native birth. Just arrived at voting age. as they begin their quest to give vitality CXI1541 and life to the Nation through the exercise of responsible. dedicated citizenship. We also equally honor persons of other countries recently naturalized as they accept the rights. privileges. and responsibilities of citizenship and immerse their lives with their fellow Americans in meaningful participation in the civic. moral. and political life of their communities. States. and Nation. Citizenship Day and Constitution Week are not solely important because of their great symbolic significance. but. also because they give an initial impetus to both the new voters and new citizens to share in the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship on both the national and local levels. Most importantly. these observances not only honor and motivate particularly these two groups of new citizens but also afford an opportunity for all citizens. nativeborn and naturalized. to rededicate themselves to the ideals upon which this Nation was founded and built.
