90-year-old vet becomes U.S. citizen

His father became a citizen in 1935.

"He came home and he told us we are now citizens. So, I didn't question it," he recalled. "I was 15-years-old at the time."

But under the laws at that time, Frank was not a citizen.

Still, he felt thoroughly American when he rode a tank across Normandy in 1944. And when he was hit by shrapnel in Germany.

On edit-further down in the article it explains the immigration law Arizona had caused him to make sure everything was in order out of fear of being deported.
