Filipino World War II Veterans are survivors of more than just World War II. They battle each and every day to support families back in the Philippines, for the full equity that they so very much deserve, and with the spectre of time and age.
Fortunately, they have allies in these battles--groups like the Veterans Equity Center (VEC), Filipino American Service Group, Incorporated (FASGI), the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS), National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NaFFAA), National Alliance for Filipino Veterans Equity (NAFVE), the American Coalition of Filipino Veterans (ACFV), Filipinos for Affirmative Action (FAA), Kappa Psi Epsilon, Filipino Association for Health Careers (FAHC), Chi Rho Omicron (XPO), Bayanihan Clinic, Rizal Lions Club, and countless other groups, individuals, and advocates.
A group here is trying to form a coalition among the many groups here in Sacramento--the Veterans Assistance Center--to assist in the well-being of Filipino American World War II Veterans. It is incorporated as a non-profit in the State of California and looks to be a promising coalition.
