Leeland Davidson, a ninety-five year old WW2 veteran, just recently discovered he was not a US citizen. Almost living in the country for one hundred years, and serving in the navy, he was on a trip going up north to Canada when an officer turned him down for having an enhanced drivers license. Leeland was born in British Columbia in 1916 and when his family moved to the United States, they never registered him to the government. At the time of enrollment to the navy, an officer said it was no big deal so Leeland just kept on keeping on. His parents were born in the united states in the 1800's, but the US didn't keep track back then so its hard to acknowledge his parents were born there. He was told if he pursues this, he could be deported and stripped of his social security.
