Due to the work of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance (C.A.C.A.) in passing Public Law 115-337, the U.S. Mint in 2020 will issue a Congressional Gold Medal honoring Chinese-American World War II Veterans for their service.
Join Us for this Exciting and Informative Program:
Keynote Speakers: Douglas Wong, Ed Gor (C.A.C.A.) will explain the significance of the campaign and how descendants of Chinese American WWII veterans can register for a personal medal replica
A citizen panel will tell personal narratives of their WWII Chinese American Veteran’s service
A short “open mic” gives audience members a chance to acknowledge their family’s WWII Chinese American Veterans
The documentary “We Served with Pride” by filmmaker Montgomery Hom screens at 12:15 pm
A hands-on workshop after the film will provide librarian assistance with research for the medal.
