On the Third Hand…

Aurora hero is official citizen

Two years ago, after enlisting in the U.S. Army National Guard, an Aurora teenager left home to become a soldier.

Four months ago, despite being seriously wounded, he drove his comrades through a grenade attack in Iraq and became a hero.

After spending four weeks in a coma, the young man opened his eyes on Christmas Eve and became a miracle.

And Monday, Cpl. Victor Alfonso Rojas raised his right hand and took the Oath of Allegiance — and became an American.

I differ a bit on that one. He was already an American. The oath just confirmed it.
