Dozens Become U.S. Citizens In Front Of Picturesque Backdrop

ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, Colo. (CBS4) - More than three dozen people became U.S. citizens with the Rocky Mountain National Park as their backdrop. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services held a ceremony on Monday.

The newly-sworn in citizens come from more than 30 nations including Afghanistan, Brazil, China, Indonesia, Mexico, and South Korea. One citizen is also the wife of CBS4 Photojournalist Mark Neitro.

The agency says having the ceremony at the park helps enhance the meaning and connects the citizens with national parks throughout the country.
