Waiting…

In anticipation of the HBO mini series The Pacific here is a picture of Filipino soldiers serving for the American military during World War II.  On a none HBO The Pacific note here is a quote from Christine Fletcher whose website I got this picture from.

In 1946, one year after the war ended, the Philippines gained its independence as promised by the Tydings-McDuffie Act. Not all promises, however, were honored. That same year, Congress passed the Rescissions Act, which withdrew the offer of veterans’ benefits and citizenship to those Filipinos who had fought for the U.S. military. This act singled out only Filipinos; other non-Americans from 66 nations who had served in the U.S. armed forces were not affected.

By the end of World War II, there were approximately 250,000 Filipino veterans. Today, only about 20,000 still survive. They, Filipino-American organizations, and a few members of Congress continue to fight to have their wartime service honored and their rightful benefits restored.
