A disabled Vietnam Airborne veteran and three-time Purple Heart winner, Rudy Thomas, Sr., took his citizenship oath at the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse on Wednesday, July 9, this taking place 40 years after the war, his discharge papers stated he was a citizen but the bureaucratic denizens said no. You see, Thomas is a native of Trinidad and was never a citizen. He enlisted in the Army with the understanding after his service he would become one.
