Florida Marine Veteran to Leave US After Long Citizenship Battle [View all]

A sad day for veterans.

After fighting for almost a decade to gain U.S. citizenship, time is running out for Marine Corps veteran Paul Canton.

He’ll likely be deported soon back to his native New Zealand, despite serving in the U.S. military for seven years, and building a life in Central Florida for more than 25 years.


Semper Fi from a USAF vet. My country makes me cry.
