As you know. this act permitted the naturalization of aliens who had been in the United States and served honorably with the Armed Forces. without declaration of intention. without certificate of arrival. without specified residence in the United States. Petition for citizenship under this section had to be accompanied by the affidavits of at least two credible witnesses. citizens of the United States. stating that each such witness person. ally knew the petitioner to be a person of good moral character. attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States. and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.
