Filipino Vets

Mabuhay ! to The Times for your editorial (“At Long Last, Justice for Filipino Vets,” Dec. 2) on Filipino veterans.

My sentiments exactly, and those of all Filipino-Americans. Your article is well-researched and well-expressed.

For these Filipino veterans, the battle is not yet over. Working to obtain veterans benefits is another mountain for them to climb.

Just as the Japanese-Americans were segregated in their concentration camps, these Filipino veterans have been emotionally imprisoned all these years. We need to assist them in their struggle.
