Both support our government: those who go to the service. those who pay their taxes. I wont say what is most important. but I started with military service for a reason: anyone who enters the service. especially today. does so voluntarily. knowing she is taking personal risk of her life. Service in the armed services is so important to our country that undocumented immigrants have been granted citizenship by serving in the Armed Forces. and that has now been formalized. Young people who grew up in the United States but came with their parents as undocumented children without any legal status have always joined the armed services. In recognition of that. our country has now said that. at least for those who have special language or medical skills. if they join the armed services. after 6 months they can apply for citizenship. Just consider the premium that we are placing on service in the Armed Forces. a premium that is more than deserved. and yet there is no cognizance taken of the fact that our residents who lived in the District of Columbia since its formation in 1801 have fought and died in the armed services. and even before that they fought in the Revolutionary War that led to the formal formation of the United States and the District of Columbia.
