Over 120,000 Filipino soldiers fought in WW II as the U.S. Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE), enduring some of the fiercest battles of the war such as the Bataan Death March. Stripped of their veterans benefits they have been fighting to regain them for the last 60 years. This book documents Cheri Gaulke s creation of the Los Angeles Memorial, the first in the U.S., and tells the Filipino Veterans story, with lavish illustrations and informative text.
