Viet War Widow Faces Deportation
Ora Floyd mourns her son killed in Vietnam and fights to keep his widow, Miaoying Eiko Floyd, in the United States under immigration law. Eiko, born in Kobe, Japan, says she may be forced to leave after her student visa lapsed following her marriage to Bogard Floyd, a sergeant with the 101st Air Cavalry who died in action. Officials in Memphis say they will consider a sympathetic view, while Eiko hopes Congress grants citizenship. Mrs. Floyd, her daughter-in-law, and the family seek to keep her from departure, insisting she is now part of the family.
