One of the most heartbreaking moments is with a family after losing a loved one and bestowing citizenship upon the lost soldier after hes buried. At this point. I would like my colleagues to join me in commending the service of Private First Class Rey Cuervo. killed in Baghdad by an lED just before New Years Eve in 2003. He left behind a young wife. pregnant with his first child. a child of immigrants who will never see his father again. who died for this Nation. I still remember the moment I was there for the ceremony granting Rey his citizenship in 2004 after his death. Tears in the eyes of all who attended the funeral spoke volumes.
