Currently displayed at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, the religious artifacts should be returned to the people of the Philippines as a visible symbol of the friendship, goodwill, and cooperation that exists between the Philippines and the United States.
Recognized as cultural property under International Law, the bells were carted away in an armed conflict that produced Filipino and American heroes.
With the church bells in its original place, it would be a shrine to these heroes who did not die in vain. They fought hard in the name of freedom and in defense of policy and doctrine but never to savor the spoils of war.
