My mother is a WWII war bride. But not from Europe. But from Mexico.
Or so she tells me. She is still alive at age 87. My step-father,
the man she married supposedly was able to list her as a "war bride"
and thus enabled my mother to become an American citizen. Could a
"war bride" come from any country?

Or is this mom's urban legend?
Just curious.

ps, my step-father landed at Normandy D-Day +1.
