Manuel Noriegas headquarters. Corporal Perez was a U.S. soldier but he was not a U.S. citizen at the time of his death. The road that any immigrant follows toward U.S. citizenship is full of twists and turns. Tragically. this road came to an abrupt end for Corporal Perez. There is currently no law that recognizes the unique contribution made to our Nation by individuals such as Corporal Perez. There is no law that enables a noncitizen resident of the United States. who is killed under fire as a member of the U.S. Armed Forces. to be recognized as a U.S. citizen. The Posthumous Citizenship for Active Duty Service Act provides such a system. Under this act. a simple procedure will be created to grant citizenship to any alien or noncitizen national who dies while serving honorably while on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. The Posthumous Citizenship for Active Duty Service Act was introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman BRIAN DONNELLY on January 3. 1989.
