This year the National Personal Records Center and the Veterans Adminstration denied over 24,000 elderly
WW 2 Philippine Veterans their right to compensation under the Recovery and Reinevestment Act of 2009 based on the fact they will not accept Philippine Military records as proof of service.
Filipino Veterans have provided proof they served under a US Command and Commanders as required under the act and Title 38 of VA regulations yet the NPRC and VA still deny them basing proof of decisions on the fact their name is not listed on a reconstructed outdated roster of 1948.
We request to have these agencies follow full intent of the Act President Obama signed in 2009 and direct these agencies to accept the records of these denied veterans as proof to obtain their rightful compensation.
