We do the same for exceptional people.  In fact, any non citizen that joins the military comes back a U.S. citizen.  That is true love for this country, imo and their service, bravery and love for their fellow soldier is absolutely rewarded with U.S. citizenship. 


I wish that was true @puttypiesmom, there have been a few military Vets deported this year alone, they were not given citizenship.


@JaneMarpleI did not know that.  So sad to hear.

As with the Gold Star Khan family whose son gave up his life to protect his unit against a suicide bomber in Iraq, the true test of their loyalty is to fight against terrorism alongside American brothers.
