Mission Statement
We honor the stories and sacrifices of men and women who became gallant defenders of Bataan and Corregidor and especially for those who fought throughout the Philippines in WWII.
Description
We have a monument located in Kissimmee, Florida. Rendered in bronze, the life sized statue consists of three figures: an American G.I. and a Filipino soldier propping each other up while a Filipina woman offers water and solace during the gruesome Bataan Death March. The monument has become the centerpiece of the annual Filipino-American friendship day recognizing the strong friendship that developed between the two countries (Philippines and America) as a result of the hardships of war. Our hope is for descendants of veterans, veteran/military families and/or to anyone living in the Central Florida who would like to be a part of our mission to serve and educate our community about this very crucial part of history.
