Honoring Filipino Veterans

Honoring Filipino Veterans - 5:17

On July 26, 1941, as tensions with Japan rose in the Pacific, President Franklin D. Roosevelt called into service all of the organized military forces of the Philippines. And while more than one quarter million Filipino soldiers served in World War II, in the same manner and under the same circumstances as other members of the U.S. Armed Forces, these soldiers had not been formally honored or recognized by the United States. That changed on October 25, 2017, when Congress bestowed the Congressional Gold Medal to Filipino WWII veterans in honor of their wartime service.
Ben de Guzman of the Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project discusses ongoing efforts to be sure every Filipino WWII veteran is honored.
