FO NEWS:
Pinoy Vets Hold Protest Outside White House


Visiting leaders of the American Coalition for Filipino Veterans from Hawaii, California, Texas and Washington, Maryland and Virginia protested outside the White House on April 12.


They called on President Bush to support their two bills in the U.S. congress by singing "Old Soldiers Never Die." The leaders are planning a Corregidor Action Day on May 7 at Department of Veterans Affairs offices in various cities to protest the Bush Administration opposition to their bills.
