Double amputee Army Sgt. Manuel Mendoza of Boonville, CA, raises his hand as he is sworn in as a U.S. citizen while the rest of his family stands beside his wheelchair at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, December 13, 2004. Mendoza, who was born in Mexico, was wounded in Iraq (news - web sites) in early October when a roadside bomb caused the vehicle he was traveling in to roll over. Several high ranking members of the Army and Immigration and Citizenship Services conducted the ceremony. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque
