filipino veterans

your day has finally come

what president truman took away in the rescission act in 1946 has been given back to you in 2009

250,000 of you then were cheated of your military benefits
the 15,000 of you today are finally recognized for your support of the US

our country is finally honoring our heroes, and remembering those who have fallen
