Becoming an American

Today several hopefuls are waiting to become American citizens at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello for the Naturalization Ceremony. Since 1963 there have been 3,000 people that have taken the oath to become Americans on this very special day at the home of no other than the author of the Declaration of Independence.
