Jr. Sergeant Garcias story may not seem like that of other veterans. but this represents part of the American history that has too often been overlooked. His story. like the stories my colleagues are sharing tonight. are stories of immigrants in this country. This evening we share those stories of individuals that are out there giving their all. More notably. the American public must understand and recognize that noncitizens have served and have died for our country. not only during the Iraq and Afghanistan war. but during every single war during this countrys struggle. I take this opportunity to once again thank CHARLIE GONZALEZ for allowing us to have this opportunity.
