On America's 250th birthday, the First Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District of Virginia administered the oath of citizenship at Monticello, continuing a family tradition as his parents also became citizens half a century earlier. This symbolic event underscores the enduring significance of citizenship and the responsibilities that come with it, reflecting a continuity of duty through generations. As the nation commemorates its bicentennial, this act highlights the importance of civic participation and the legacy of civic duty passed down through family lines.
