| It definetly makes sense to make Lafayette an honorary citizen, but the rest I don't get. Why make the Penns citizens postumously but not the other colonial founders? At least they could be considered American though, based on the definition. Sure Mother Teresa and Wallenberg were great humanitarians, but I'm not sure that that is enough. (I'm not knocking either of their achievements, I just feel that the honor should be for someone who provided significant service to the US but weren't citizens.) Churchill makes the least sense since he was a foreign head of state. |
