Dear Senator Feinstein,

I am writing in support of legislation, recently introduced in the House and Senate, to honor Filipino and Filipino-American soldiers who fought in World War II with Congressional Gold Medals.

Please work with Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono, Virginia Senator Tim Keane, and other members of the U.S. Senate to pass this important legislation. It is time for our country to honor the courageous Filipino and Filipino-Americans who fought for freedom and to defend the world from Axis aggression, terror and torture.

Please share with me your thoughts on Congress awarding the Gold Medal to Filipino and Filipino-American WWII veterans. Thank you for the courtesy of an email response to JEPDiplomat@gmail.com
                                                                                                 
Respectfully,


Jim Patterson
