Filipino World War II veterans from the greater Seattle are awarded replicas of the Congressional Gold Medal, the nation's highest civilian honor. This follows the recent ceremony in Washington, D.C., led by Speaker of the House of Representative Paul Ryan and leaders of the U.S. House and Senate, when they presented the medal to honor all WWII Filipino veterans for their service and sacrifice. The medal will be showcased at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History for preservation and research.
