FORGOTTEN SOLDIERS
In honor of the valiant men and women who fought during World War II.
This is the story of a group of elite US Army soldiers who fought America's first major ground battle of the Second World War. They were General MacArthur's best soldiers at the start of the conflict. They were credited with being widely responsible for the prolonged siege of Bataan, an action that drained so much time and resources from Imperial Japan that it prevented the Japanese invasion of Australia. Half of them were killed in action and in captivity. Only a few survive today. This documentary, run time: 45 mins., will honor these gallant men who gave so much for the cause of freedom. They were the United States Army's Philippine Scouts, America's FORGOTTEN SOLDIERS.

Dear Friends & Kababayans:
We celebrate June 12 as Philippine Independence Day. To make our celebration more meaningful, let us honor the Filipino and American Veterans of World War II, for without them, we would not have any reason to celebrate.
To let them know that they are not forgotten, we are showing a documentary film entitled "Forgotten Soldiers" at the Petty Auditorium of the Skokie Public Library at 7:00pm on June 11, 2012, Monday. It is narrated by Lou Diamond Phillips, a talented actor who was born in Subic Bay, Philippines to a Filipina mother and a naval officer father. Please see attached flyer for more details.
Please meet a few of the living veterans in our area at a simple reception to be held at the Radmacher Room from 6:00pm to 6:45pm. I also invited some state, county, and local officials. Voluntary monetary or in-kind-donations are welcome to cover food & drinks for the reception. NaFFAA Illinois will cover pancit & bottled water. We also need volunteers to provide transportation for the attending veterans. Their assembly point is the Levy Seniors Center at 2019 W. Lawrence in Chicago.
You can contact me through this email for any questions or concerns and to confirm your attendance.
Thanks.
Jelly
