I am pleased to have been part of the effort to expedite Senate action on the bill to grant posthumous citizenship to Scotty Staniszewski. This legislation is an act of simple justice for a brave young man who loved America and who give the last full measure of devotion for our country in Vietnam. He was called Scotty. because he was born in Scotland. the son of a Polish father and a Scottish mother. His parents had emigrated to America in 1963 and settled in Brockton. MA. where so many generations of immigrants before them had made their home. Scotty joined them in 1964. at the age of 17. He loved this country. and his fondest dream was to become a citizen.
