This bill, if passed, would give Filipino Veterans the equal status they deserve because they defended this country over 60 years ago and still have not been equally recognized. I am a concerned constituent of (city)__________ and I am requesting the assistance of the Congressman/woman in granting these veterans what they rightfully deserve- equal status as American Veterans through the passage of [If house: HR 302 and if Senate S 146] which will amend Title 38 of the 1946 Rescission Act deeming the WWII Filipino Veterans military service during WWII as active rather than inactive.
