Speaker Paul Ryan: "The Congressional Gold Medal is one of our oldest traditions. It is the highest civilian honor this body can bestow. Today, pursuant to S. 1555, we award this Medal to the Filipino veterans of World War II."
Maraming salamat to our Filipino WWII Veterans. And congrats on your Congressional Gold Medals. #FilVetRepCGM... https://t.co/U5bPV3Fdwr— FANHS National (@fanhs_national) October 25, 2017
This day is long overdue. On behalf of Congress, I am humbled to present the Congressional Gold Medal to the Filipino veterans of WWII. pic.twitter.com/xYgm7X4JHI— Paul Ryan (@SpeakerRyan) October 25, 2017
It would cost about 0.007 F-35Bs to buy every living Filipino WWII Vet a replica gold medal. https://t.co/bv0B2Xau6F
