From the KOMO news website article: ""We went up to get an enhanced driver's license and they turned me down," he said.
He was rejected because it turns out the World War II veteran is Canadian."

The fact that he has served the United States faithfully, both during and after World War II, should warrant a citizenship.
However, if he were to move to Canada where he is a citizen...Free health care! |

What's that George Miller line about old folks bragging about their age?
Old man : "Im 91 years old!"
George : "Good! That means you'll be dead soon!"
