                    [Summary] => A bill seeking to provide Filipino veterans of World War II with benefits similar to those of American soldiers who fought beside them was recently filed in the US Congress.


California Rep. Robert Filner, the principal author of House Bill 664 (HR 664), urged his colleagues to support the bill.


"We owe not only a debt of gratitude to these brave veterans, but we owe them recognition as veterans of the US military," Filner said in a statement. "We owe them the benefits they were promised."

                    [Summary] => Washington — About 11,000 Filipino World War II veterans living in the United States are pressing Congress to approve legislation that will provide health care for them, hopefully before they all die.


The health care issue has been moving in fits and starts over the past two years. At the last session of the 107th Congress last year, the House of Representatives passed the measure but the Senate was unable to act on it before adjournment.
