Gaithersburg Mayor Jud Ashman Welcomes New Citizens at Naturalization Ceremony (VIDEO)
A Naturalization Ceremony was held at the Gaithersburg Library where 34 applicants from 27 different countries became U.S. citizens on June 1st.
Gaithersburg Mayor Jud Ashman helped welcome the new citizens, and afterwards he talked about what an honor it is to be part of this important event.
“This is one of the most beautiful things I get to do as Mayor,” said Ashman. “Seeing people on the day they become citizens, seeing them hold up [their] hands and take that oath…there’s a lot we take for granted as Americans … it sort of brings it all home and puts it in perspective. It makes you thankful for what it is we have.”
