Fighting for Recognition: The Legacy of Filipino WWII Veterans | So Inspiring

Ret. Major Gen. Tony Taguba, Chairman of FilVetREP, speaks at the Halo-Halo panel during the White House’s annual Filipino American History Month celebration.
Hosted by Dr. Kevin Nadal, the panel brought together notable FilAms to discuss key issues impacting the community-education, mental health, small businesses, veterans, and immigration.
Taguba highlights the ongoing fight for justice for Filipino WWII veterans, many of whom were denied benefits, pay, and U.S. citizenship due to the 1946 Rescission Act. FilVetREP has helped secure the Congressional Gold Medal, launch an education program, and push for full recognition.
