Independence Day Proclamation 2025

Independence Day marks the historic moment when the thirteen American colonies formally broke free from British rule through the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

This national celebration holds special meaning for immigrants, as it represents the core American values that inspire people worldwide to seek new lives in the United States. The Declaration's promise that "all men are created equal" and possess inherent rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" continues to resonate with those pursuing the American dream across generations.

Across Washington state and throughout the nation, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offices honor this historic milestone by conducting special Independence Day naturalization ceremonies. These events celebrate the dedication and contributions of America's newest citizens, creating meaningful connections between personal journeys toward citizenship and the nation's founding ideals.

When new Americans take their oath of citizenship during Independence Week, it creates a profound symbolic connection between individual achievement and national celebration. This tradition reinforces a fundamental truth about American identity: the United States remains a nation continuously renewed and strengthened by immigrants who choose to make America their home, carrying forward the same spirit of seeking freedom and opportunity that inspired the original colonists in 1776.
