They serve our country and protect our men… but the US military can’t let them live on base…

IN HONOR OF MEMORIAL DAY: During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt pledged that Filipinos who fight for the United States will be granted citizenship and military benefits. As a result, over 200,000 Filipinos fought side by side with American soldiers during World War II. Shortly after the war ended, that promise was taken back with the Recission Act of 1946. It was not until 2009 when President Obama signed a bill that would give Filipino World War II veterans a lump sum compensation of $15K ($9K for those living in the Philippines) to the less than 18,000 veterans who are still alive today. Yes, such an amount is not commensurate to the benefits they missed out on for over 50 years, but yet to this day a majority of them still have not received such meager compensation. So, LET US REMEMBER THE FILIPINO VETERANS WHO WERE NOT ONLY VICTIMS OF WORLD WAR II, BUT ALSO VICTIMS OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM.

This photo made the rounds over the week, showing a male pit bull grieving at his female companion’s side in Phoenix. The female was hit by a car sometime on Friday night and succumbed to her injuries on the side of the road. A local business was moved by the sight and put out food and water for the male while he nuzzled his friend sadly for over fourteen hours until they were finally collected. 

Rodrigo Silva of Animal Care and Control said “He’s a little withdrawn and he appears to be very sad. I am not certain we will be placing him up for adoption.” Silva added: “If he continues to show these signs of withdrawal we will place him in a recovery home that can help him with his grieving.”

Since going viral, one Chicago viewer was brought to tears. “They deserve better,” says Karyn Aspen who has since been on a crusade about the two dogs left on the side of the road for 14.5 hours. “I was so outraged I even called the mayor’s office and had posted on Facebook in hopes that the mayor’s office would be bombarded with calls.” Karyn continues her crusade from Chicago, fighting for faster response times and determined to ensure the dog gets a good home.

My Fox Phoenix reports Animal Control said it was the Sanitation Department that delayed in picking up the dogs

He is now called Devo and in the care of Lost Paws of Phoenix, AZ.
