Ninety-five-year-old Leeland Davidson discovered recently that he's not a U.S. citizen, despite living nearly 100 years in the country and serving in the U.S. Navy during WWII.

Davidson, from Centralia, Washington, told KOMO News that he discovered he wasn't a U.S. citizen when he was turned down for an enhanced driver's license he needed for a trip to Canada to visit relatives.

"We always figured because he was born to U.S. parents he's automatically a U.S. citizen," said Davidson's daughter, Rose Schoolcroft.

Davidson was born in British Columbia in 1916. He checked up on his citizenship before joining the Navy and was told by an inspector at the U.S. Department of Labor Immigration and Naturalization Service he had nothing to worry about. Now he worries that he won't be able to prove his citizenship, because his parents were born in Iowa before local governments started keeping records of birth certificates in 1880. "I want it squared away before I pass away," he says.

Schoolcraft says they tried to dissuade him from pursuing the matter. Employees at the local passport office scared them, telling her father "If he pursued it, (he could) possibly be deported or at risk of losing Social Security."

"We keep telling him, leave it alone, leave it alone, and he won't, like a dog with a bone," Schoolcraft told the Centralia Chronicle. But Davidson says: "I want to get it done before I die." He also still wants to visit his friends and family in Canada. Sen Patty Murray's office is helping him with his application.

A World War II American Veteran Foreign born child was denied citizenship, because the father who was mentally ill due to the war, did not file before her 18th birthday.

The child should have the right to apply at any age, there should be no age limit. Her father finally filed papers, after her 19th birthday and they denied her citizenship, not even a Green Card. Soldiers are fighting to make a better country for their childrens, children. I believe children of American citizen that was born in foreign countries that also served their country, married or unmarried should get instant citizenship. I guess they called it the bastard law. They went as far to keep these children out as to move the blood test result from 98% to 99% which is rediculous.

This child is denied of her father's French, German American heritage and because of this the father goes back home leaving the child fatherless and behind. Whereever a child's father is born, thats where that child need to be and its so happens to be the United States, because of the separation, i did not meet my father's mother, that i understand died in Old Age Home and she was not aware of me. Not only was my father in War 11, but his father before him was also in a civil war in America and Great Grand father also was in a war.

Because of my father's mental illness, On one of his visits to me, which i was happy to see him he raped me, that next day he said he thought i was someone else. They need to pay attention to the citizens and war heros of America. I suffered mentally for a long time, Children of mix race (Black & White) have life much harder. My mother's family never approved of my mother not being married either, which you know the story. Please help Americans War Heros and their foreign born children, instead giving citizen to who dont deserve it War Heros Children should be first in line to get Citizenship for serving for their country in a war.

MY DESTINY WITH THE USA AFTER VISTING JULY 27, 2005 KATRINA HURRICANE HIT.

I almost lost my life after visiting New Orleans, July 27, 2005. I got trap in Hurricane Katrina after visiting a friend, my friend died, i volunteered with others in removing the water from New Orleans, La. In the group of people that volunteered we got to meet President George Bush and he did nothing for us. I suffer from depression because of this hurricane.. I cried for 4yrs after loosing my friend, and seeing the sorrows in New Orleans. Dirty water, bugs infestation, unbearable smells, dead people swimming around in water and destructive buildings. They paid people to get the dead bodies out of New Orleans, la.

JAPAN TSUNAMI, MARCH 11, 2011. WANT TO SEND MY DEEP SYMPATHY

I just tried to contact a friend who is a Japanese Journalist after the mass destruction that Hit Japan day before yesterday, March 11, 2011. Because when i was in New Orleans i met her and she was one of the persons that comforted me.

For years i kept my silent. I asked God did you spare me for a reason, After i survived an Hurricane as deadly as Katrina.. So i became a stronger person and i thought i should stand up for myself at all cause from here on

I often wonder if there is a God out there that watch over people and children that cant defend themselves, Do you think God hear us?

Do you ever wonder why most bad people never get caught or if caught just get a tap on the shoulder saying dont do it again for punishment and good innocent people most of the time suffer to their death.

Do you think its right to make a child that have family be fatherless, rape and mistreated. Is it true in these days that Good things dont happen for Good people.

Dont you think in the case of mentally ill War Veterans that their foreign born children should get instant citizenship.

Please rectify some of this pain. Please help sign this petition for justice in the eyes of our lord. Thank you.

Look what i found
