United States Armed Forces in the Far East (USAFFE). The unit
was made up of the United States-Philippine Military Forces of
the Commonwealth Army, Guerrilla Units, New Philippine Scout.
(3) The Filipino Infantry Regiment, was mostly composed of
first-generation immigrants living along the Pacific Coast, who
volunteered after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941,
later many second-generation Filipino-American soldiers joined
the Regiment from Hawaii.
(4) The Philippine Scout units and the New Philippine
Scouts were directly recruited by the United States Army for
the war effort.
(5) Under extremely severe occupation policies imposed by
the Japanese, it was the anti-Japanese resistance movement that
drew more and more Filipinos to its side and through 1943 many
of these anti-Japanese guerrillas recovered or newly
established liaisons with the United States Army Command of the
Southwest Pacific Area and placed themselves under the command
of General Douglas MacArthur.
(6) These Filipino soldiers responded to President
Roosevelt's call-to-arms and later fought under the American
flag during World War II.
(7) After the Japanese invasion in December 1941, Filipino
and American troops literally shared the same fate at Bataan,
Corregidor, and the ''Death March''.
(8) Many made the ultimate sacrifice as both soldiers in
the United States Armed Forces in the Far East and as guerilla
fighters during the Imperial Japanese occupation of the
Philippines.
(9) These troops had served under the expectation that they
would be treated as United States military servicemembers.
(10) The Rescission Act of 1946 later passed, which stated
that Filipino forces would not be deemed to have been active
military.
(11) Congress recognizes the courage and bravery of the
Filipino and Filipino American servicemen and servicewomen who
have fought alongside and in the United States Armed Forces.
(12) The United States remains forever indebted to the
bravery, valor, and dedication to country these men displayed.
