DESCRIPTION:PSL Forum & Discussion\n70 Years of Injustice: The case of the Filipino 
 American Veterans\n\nOn July 26, 1941, the U.S. commissioned 480,000 
 Filipino soldiers under the U.S. Armed Forces of the Far East (USAFFE) 
 under the command of General Douglas Macarthur to fight the Japanese 
 Imperial Army. The so-called “Commonwealth of the Philippines” was in 
 reality a colony of the U.S. The Filipino soldiers were promised that after 
 the war, they would be recognized as American veterans and hence accorded 
 the same benefits. But the U.S. reneged on its promise. Out of the 66 
 nationalities who fought for the U.S. in World War II, Filipinos were 
 singled out not to be recognized as U.S. veterans and therefore were denied 
 veterans’ benefits. By 2015, most of the surviving veterans will be gone 
 without ever seeing any justice.\n\nGuest Speaker Ago Pedalizo is 
 Coordinator of the Justice for Filipino American Veterans 
 campaign.\n\nPlus: Update on trial of Mehserle in murder of Oscar Grant\n
