[QUOTE]Originally posted by uncle bill: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 5OHS5OH: [qb] I had the occasion to be in Sonora yesterday. I walked by the VFW hall and noticed that there was a sign open that read "Military Museum, open 12 to 2." I walked in an was greeted by a 60 something year old man that walked with a cane and a limp. They had rooms from WWI, Korea, Vietnam, WWII, Desert Storm and the current conflicts in Iraq and Afganistan. There were pictures and stories from people that served in all the conflicts that were from Sonora and the general region. I noticed that several of the names of those that served, and died, were of Spanish origin. I don't know the circumstances of when they or their parents immigrated and from exactly where. What I do know is that these men died for all of us. They were black, white, brown and every other color. For the record, I support the Arizona law, and feel that it is time for real immigration reform. How about you learn English, stand in a line in your country, apply for citizenship, and then serve 5 years in the U.S. military before you are considered for citizenship? Don't get so caught up in the details of who is wearing what flag and when. When it comes down to it, Mexican people helped build this country, and defend it. So did a lot of other people. The system as it is doesn't work, and I don't have all the answers. All I know is, walking through that museum yesterday and reading the names of the men that died for this country put some perspective on life. :patriot: [/qb][/QUOTE]you are exactly right. back in the day immigrants from many countrys fled to this country to become american citizens and fought and died for this country. now they reep the benifits of living in this country without any loyaltys. ITS WRONG [/QB][/QUOTE]
