Many I know retired here, whether they were already citizens, I don’t know.
But they respected our military and our country. THey shared their own, and they stuck together like chain gangs, but they acted like part of the team, they led very well and they spoke English, and politely when we occasionally said, ‘hey, speak english’.
An illegal alien is going to serve 20 years?
I knew one from East Germany. He arrived here in 1971 as a thirteen year old. His step dad was a Sargent in the Army. When he turned 18, he enlisted and served honorably for 13 years.
He once told me his proudest day, other than the days his daughters were born, was the day he EARNED his citizenship.
Tragically, he was killed in an industrial accident on Easter Sunday, 1983. We lost a great American.
