Clearly. there had to be a better way to honor the contribution of individuals like Corporal Staniszewski and Corporal Perez. That way is provided by the Posthumous Citizenship for Active Duty Service Act. Under this act. the Attorney General will now be allowed to grant posthumous citizenship to a noncitizen resident of the United States who is killed while on active duty service with this Nations Armed Forces. The request for citizenship can be made by the next of kin. This new process for citizenship will negate any need for the cumbersome and time consuming process of introducing a private bill.
