Pinagtibay ng Kamara ang House Resolution 1411 na nagpapasalamat sa United States Congress sa pagkilala sa kabayanihan ng mga beteranong Pilipino.
Nauna rito ay ipinasa ng 114th U.S. Congress ang Senate Bill 1555 at House Resolution 2737, na naggagawad ng Congressional Gold Medal sa lahat ng Filipino World War II veterans.
“Their enactment into law as Public Law 114-265 or the Filipino Veterans of World War II Congressional Gold Medal Act finally recognizes the efforts and sacrifice of the Filipino veterans in the war effort and restores their dignity and honor by awarding them with the highest expression of gratitude by the United States government,” saad sa House Resolution. - Bert De Guzman
