Two hundred fifty-nine foreign-born U.S. troops currently serving throughout Iraq became American citizens at al-Faw Palace here April 12, in the largest naturalization ceremony to date in Iraq.

Bumped the thread up again, a few people are posting things like "You all better learn how to pray to Allah, since Obama will force you too". Maybe they need to be woke up.

I saw yet another ignorant thread on a vote for Obama is a vote for Muslims.
Need to bump this to keep it alive until these people learn..

This is not a gratuitous bump. I'm sure some of the posters on here think to themselves; "good, when their enlistments are over they can help build the fence, then we'll kick them over it and laugh at them".
I also saw that the father of Corporal Khan contacted General Powell and thanked him for honoring his son.

I'm sure some posters on here also think they are tiger woods! 
Legal citizens of the United States are not illegal immigrants. Americans that are muslim are not terrorists. Amercian soldiers should never be slurred as baby killers and murderers (I'm talking to you, Murtha).
And finally, Americans who are against illegal immigration are not inbred, racist hicks who cannot tell the difference between illegal and legal immigration. Even if they are Republican  |

This should be a constant reminder to all of us that a person's patriotism and worth can not be judged by their name, their religion, their sexual orientaion, their gender, or the color of their skin. If people are willing to fight and possibly die for this country then they ARE REAL AMERICANS>

I loved the article that Colin Powell brought up on MTP...he even looked a little choked up when he talked about this on Sunday and I even teared up. I think his endorsement speaks volumes throughtout no matter what party you are affilliated with.
The McCain campaign has tried to divide this country more than it already is by generalizing everyone by what region or area you live in....it is really sad.
