Barksdale Profile: Foreign Born Military

By: Leslie Draffin

Updated: February 1, 2013

Foreign born military members make up five percent of our armed forces. Julio Estrada and Daniel Restrepo joined the Air Force three years ago and quickly gained US citizenship, thanks to a 2002 ruling that accelerated the process. Each says they're proud to be Americans and feel a unique sense of patriotism both for their country of birth and for the United States.
