War Vet Denied Citizenship?

A Centralia, Washington man who served in World War Two has been told he’s not really a citizen of the United States. It seems 95-year old Leland Davidson was born in British Columbia to American parents. It seems, however, that they failed to register his birth with the U.S. government.



             Citizenship

Though he fought for the USA
In WW-Two,
He’s told, now, to go away:
Goodbye, so long, and adieu.

Leland 's dreams of peace and security,
Appear to have been distorted;
As he faces future obscurity
And threats of being deported.
