CLE: THE LEGAL LIMBO OF FILIPINOS WHO SERVED IN WWII

Over 1.2 million people claim they served.

Less than 20% were added to the official roster.

Women were explicitly excluded.

A LONG MARCH seeks to rehabilitate the narrative of WWII to include all of our veterans.

Head over to the Q&A tab to get to the CLE on October 30, 2023, 5:00 PM Eastern

A LONG MARCH CLE presentations explore the U S legal treatment of Filipinos who served during WWII including:

  • Inequities in the post war guerrilla recognition program

  • The decision that prevented Filipinos from gaining access to the U S Army Board for the Correction of Military Records and the treatment of Filipino service records since the war

  • The benefit status of Filipino WWII veterans, including legal issues with the FVEC benefit’s denial rate of 56%

  • Legal issues encountered during the pursuit of U S citizenship by Filipinos veterans of WWII
