3rd of July

I didn't see any fireworks this 4th of July (not that I even tried to see any). Instead, I took a night trip to the World War II Memorial on the National Mall on the 3rd of July. It was beautiful.





The water element of this national memorial makes it one of my favorites.

What's even better is that at this year's 4th of July Filipino veterans who fought in WWII were able to finally celebrate the U.S. Senate's approval of bill 1315 which provides pensions to Filipino veterans and restores their status as American veterans.

Now on to the House and the President, because there's still work to be done, and the National Alliance for Filipino Veterans Equity can't do it all alone!
