Mr. Speaker. on July 4. 53 men and women who became naturalized citizens of the United States in the metropolitan Roanoke. Va.. area will be honored at the annual Independence Day celebration known as Music for AmericansV to be held at Victory Stadium in my home city of Roanoke. I would like to offer my congratulations to them. New citizens are always special. but these men and women are a little extra special. They became naturalized in 1982. the centennial year of Roanoke. Just over 100 years ago. Roanoke was little more than a collection of buildings near a salt marsh.
