Immigrant Oscar Vazquez fought for right to fight for U.S.

"On July 5, a newly minted U.S. citizen, Oscar Vazquez, found himself in a plane over North Carolina preparing for his first jump as a member of the Army's Airborne unit.  Being in that plane with his Airborne brothers fulfilled a dream Vazquez, 25, had had since he was in high school in Phoenix. The fun part would be jumping. The hard part happened earlier when Vazquez had to get the government to forgive him for entering the U.S. illegally as a child." - Arizona Republic, Dec. 27, 2011.
