Mr. Speaker. it is with great pleasure and sincerity that I take this time to congratulate the individuals who took their oath of citizenship on July 4. 2016. In true patriotic fashion. on the day of our great Nations celebration of independence. a naturalization ceremony took place. welcoming new citizens of the United States of America. This memorable occasion. coordinated by the League of Women Voters of the Calumet Area and presided over by Magistrate Judge Andrew Rodovich. was held at The Pavilion at Wolf Lake in Hammond. Indiana. America is a country founded by immigrants. From its beginning. settlers have come from countries around the world to the United States in search of better lives for their families. The oath ceremony was a shining example of what is so great about the United States of Americathat people from all over the world can come together and unite as members of a free. democratic nation.
