MOTHER DIVINE at PA Gov. Shapp's Inauguration
It is indeed fitting that the ceremony in which you became a naturalized citizen of the United States be celebrated in Valley Forge on the day our Federal Government recognizes it as a National Park.
For years, Americans have regarded our beautiful park as a true, if unacknowledged, National Monument.
You, in spirit and purpose, have truly been a citizen of our Country.
It gives me personal pleasure to congratulate you today as you become an acknowledged citizen of our great Nation.
In Testimony Whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and affixed hereto the
Seal of the governor of Pennsylvania,
this 19th day of December, A.D. 1977.
s/ Milton J. Shapp, Governor
