It looks like we are finally making progress in honoring our promises to Filipino veterans of World War II. Senate Bill 1315 passed 96 to 1. This statement from Senator Inouye gives you the historical and economic justification. Why has it taken this long to get this far (cuz we’re not actually there yet)?

Versions of legislation attempting to restore the benefits taken away by the Rescission Act have been going on for about 20 years. It is truly shameful. And it makes you wonder–who will fight for social justice issues when Inouye is gone? He is now 84 years old.
