Marine Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Menusa, the former Tracy man killed in combat in Iraq, has been awarded U.S. citizenship.

"We can bury him now," said his mother, Virginia Kenny of Tracy. "He's part of the U.S. now."

She and other family members learned Friday that the government had granted posthumous citizenship to Menusa, who fought in both Persian Gulf wars.

These are the kind of people I'm proud to call a fellow citizen. He definitely earned his US citizenship. Now, if only we honored this mans's character by putting an end to illegal immigration.

"We can bury him now," said his mother
