Thanks to everyone who came to the Filipino Veterans Ceremony! It was a great event! Over 80 Filipinos from all over the Bay Area came to honor Amado Calimiquim, Lauro Busto, Regino Nacua as well as Ramon Malgareho, and Jose Que who are both deceased. Each veteran and their widows spoke about their experiences during the chaos of the war and the role of Filipinos in combat against the Japanese. I was moved by the stories, and feel strongly that full veteran benefits should be provided to these veterans.

We were lucky enough also to have the Kababyan Dance Troupe as well as comedian Dinky Doo join and entertain us!
