National Medal Of Honor Day

March 25, 2007 is National Medal of Honor Day. The national
holiday seeks to recognize the heroism and sacrifice of the
nation's Medal of Honor recipients. Many people may not be aware
that immigrants are disproportionately represented among the
3,425 identified Medal of Honor recipients (for the Medal of
Honor Roll by state, see here).

In fact, immigrants have long contributed to our nation's
homeland security throughout history. The US continues to this
day to justly reward immigrants (even those who have committed
violations of immigration law) by granting those who have
honorably served in the Armed Services naturalization.
