This bittersweet victory comes at the end of a 50-year legislative battle which has seen thousands of veterans lose their lives due to the passage of time. This year we must send a clear message to the surviving 18,000 Filipino and Filipino American World War II veterans that we are honored by their spirit and moved by the heroism and their patience--the spirit that remained hopeful for many, many years that the American people, through their Representatives in this Congress, would do the right thing. This is the right thing to do. Join me in honoring all of the Filipino World War II veterans with the Congressional Gold Medal.
