They deserved their new citizenship as much as any of us who fought during World War I or II. because they risked their lives and shed their blood for the same cause. They and their fellow countrymen who did not leave the battlefields deserve the thought and the gratitude that we have given to our own soldiers. Providing medical care for those survivors who have immigrated to our shores in search of the ideals for which they fought in two world wars is therefore an act of gratitude for this Congress and for the country. I ask my colleagues to consider these men whom we propose to reward in the same light as our own World War I and II veterans. Both groups served and did not count the cost.
