As he got older he enlisted in the marines and was honorably discharged after serving four years. Only then did he get into trouble with the law serving ten minutes months in prison on animal cruelty charges. Ill be able to wake up Christmas Morning and hug them and let them know im home. Earlier this year nbc bay area traveled to mexico to talk to dozens of honorably discharged veterans who were deported under the same policy.
