U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Michael Berry, the adjutant general of the Delaware National Guard, talks with Spc. Jun Cho, of the 262nd Heavy Equipment Maintenance Repair Company in Washington D.C., Jan. 14, 2021.
A Delaware National Guardsman who missed his citizenship ceremony due to his deployment to the U.S. Capitol following the chaotic insurrection got an assist from Rep. Ed Perlmutter. When the Colorado Democrat heard his story, he got to work to remedy the situation.
Perlmutter said he stuck up a conversation with a group of guardsmen in the building. The Delawareans told him that Spc. Jun Cho, with the state’s National Guard 262nd Heavy Equipment Maintenance Company, would have to delay becoming a U.S. citizen. He missed his Jan. 13 ceremony due to their deployment.
