What a great thread!

I, too, would like to send a special salute to both of my grandfathers (both have passed on) and both served in WWII. My dad's dad was in Iwo Jima, and mom's dad never said where he was, but has battle scars to show he was somewhere.

Both of them were born in Mexico, came to this country, FOUGHT for this country and had to fight to not be deported once their tour of duty was over!

Long story short, the government granted them both citizenship, and they both lived full, happy and FREE lives!

GOD BLESS THE USA!!
