Citizenship Day: A reflection on my journey and responsibilities
U.S. Airman 1st Class Karla Parra, 60th Air Mobility Wing broadcast journalist, poses for a photo Oct. 6, 2020, at Travis Air Force Base, California. Constitution Day, also known as Citizenship Day, is celebrated Sept. 17 to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution. The celebration encourages Americans to reflect on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship and what it means to be a U.S. citizen. Parra, currently a senior airman assigned to the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing, became a U.S. citizen April 17, 2018, and joined the Air Force April 2, 2019.
