by Guest Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 19:31

just checked an on wiki it was Clacton in 1938

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 19:32

Braveheart, read the question again, does not ask 'opening' date, believe the camp opened in '38.

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 19:39

Rugbydreamer, correct with Clacton.

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 19:41

Oh yeah trust me not to read the question properly. It is Clacton then. Well done Rugbydreamer

Who was the first person to be granted Honorary Citizenship of the United States?

by Suspicious lurker Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 20:46

What is an "honorary citizenship"??

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 20:52

A person of exceptional merit, generally a non-United States citizen, may be declared an Honorary Citizen of the United States by an Act of Congress, or by a proclamation issued by the President of the United States, pursuant to authorization granted by Congress.
Seven people have been so honored, five posthumously, and two during their lifetimes.

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 20:53

Lafayette, don't know his full name but he fought in the american revolutionary war

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 20:56

Sorry he was number six, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roche Gilbert du Motier, 6th August 2002.

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:12

Rochambeau or De Grasse

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:18

No sorry neither get a mention. If it helps, the first person was alive when the honour was bestowed.

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:24

That doesn't help at all seeing as I don't know who any of them are. I'm just guessing that they're all non americans who have helped the US in some way which is why I thought of people who fought in the American War of Independence

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:25

Mother Theresa

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:27

No, Mother Theresa was the only other person who was alive at the time 1996.
The first person, was male a British knight and the year was 1963.

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:28

Is a citizen of america something different to honorary citizenship?

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:29

Ignore that question, I was trying to work out if it was before 1919

by Suspicious lurker Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:33

Probably someone like Churchill so, id have thought it was someone from the war of independence myself though

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:34

Don't think Honorary citizens have the right of citizenship or permant residency, also they are not eligible for a US passport.

by braveheart101 Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:46

Is it something similar to a honorary knighthood in britain then?

by mentalrhino Tue 13 Sep 2011 - 21:52
