A group of Wyoming residents became U.S. citizens this past week. Not unusual, but the place where there held the ceremony was. The naturalization ceremony was held at the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center, near where thousands of Japanese Americans were held by the federal government during World War II. Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson and his brother Peter Simpson were among the featured speakers at the event. Pete Simpson is a member of the board that oversees the Heart Mountain learning center. He told the immigrants that he was humbled by their dedication and determination.
