Mind - We Filipinos have worked hard with the Americans. This acceptance we have been given is what I appreciate most about being in the U.S. Army. There is discrimination, however, because of our color.

Feeling - I am glad that after serving in the army, I can become an American citizen! I feel proud to have worked with Americans and am now being given a chance for a new life.
See - In America, I see even more Filipinos like myself starting to move here. In the war, we were fighting for freedom, so I saw determined young men as well as many brutal deaths.
Clothes - Uniform showed their membership in the U.S. Army. They wore them proudly as partners of America. They were now seen as men.

Living - After the war, more immigrants from the Philippines had gone to the U.S. Reconstruction in the Philippines was taking place at the same time.
Job - Many Filipinos joined the war against Japan alongside American soldiers. When living in America, Filipinos worked as wielders, technicians, office workers, and engineers.
War affect - On February 19, 1942, the First Filipino Infantry Regiment was established. Filipinos became more accepted in America after helping the U.S. in war. Sadly, there was still prejudice against them.
Hope for double victory - Filipinos wanted to gain freedom. They also wanted respect for what they contributed to the war.
Reality - Filipinos were acknowledged for their work in the war. They were allowed to become citizens of the U.S. They started new lives in America.
