Hell be remembered as a proud and courageous soldier who was living out a long held dream of serving in the U.S. military and will be honored by having a Post Office named after him in the City of Baldwin Park. The sacrifices that my constituents made inspired me to pursue legislation to help other legal permanent residents who risk their lives every day and die protecting our countrys liberties and values. achieve the dream of becoming a citizen. And in 2003. 1 introduced the Naturalization and Family Protection for Military Members Act. Tphe bill. which was included in the Department of Defense Authorization Conference Report. was signed into law. and recognizes the enormous contributions of immigrants in the military by providing them with easier access to naturalization and immediate family immigration protections for those killed in action. It is a tribute to them and their families and all veterans for the enormous sacrifices theyve made so we and others around the world can live in freedom. Im proud today to tell you that I support our military men and women. and especially those that continue to serve us that are legal permanent residents. We need to see an immigration reform program come forward that is comprehensive. and salute soldiers such as this who have given their ultimate sacrifice for our country.
