Beyond that, yes I do. I consider all our servicemen to be heroes because they do a job that I nor you would do.

This reply got me thinking. KC Native, if they are already legal (permanent residents), how does serving in the military help them get citizenship? Does it expedite the process or something? If memory serves, I had to wait seven years between getting my green card and being naturalized (and becoming a citizen).
