Photos: D-Day veteran gets proof of citizenship
Sherwin Callander -- a D-Day veteran was born in Canada -- and moved to the U.S. when he was 3. When he recently decided to go France for ceremonies remembering the 70th anniversary of D-Day he couldn't find documentation to get a passport. Federal officials gave him that documentation Monday, June 2, 2014 in a ceremony in Atlanta hours before he boarded a plane to France.
