Chinese veterans honored with Congressional gold medals – AsAmNews

Six Chinese American veterans will be honored Saturday with Congressional Gold Medals for their involvement in World War II at the National WWI Museum in New Orleans, in collaboration with the Chinese American WWII Veterans Recognition Project.

The Congressional Gold Medal is the oldest and highest civilian award, originating from heroic figures of the Revolutionary War who played a major role in shaping American history, NOLA.com reported.

The museum, NOLA.com said, will gives thanks to service members including William Shih Yin Ching (Army Air Corps), Wai Hoo Tong (Army), Donald T.S. Lee (Merchant Marine), Harry G. Jung (Army), Wing Fook Joseph Li (Army Air Corps) and Arthur T.S. Shak (Army Air Corps).

Happy (?) International Women’s Day | Filosofa’s Word

Some of you may remember the old commercials for Virginia Slims cigarettes (back before cigarette ads were banned from the media) that had the theme, “You’ve come a long way, baby!”  True dat.  We finally got the right to vote, the right to divorce our husbands, to own property, to attend college, to earn equal pay for equal work, to make our own healthcare decisions, to … oh wait … better scratch that last one, for we lost that last year!

That’s right … last year we lost the right to decide, even in cases where our lives are endangered, whether we can have an abortion.  In some states, we can now be arrested and sent to prison if we have an abortion.  Next, I understand there will likely be a challenge to our right to have birth control, meaning that we will also in many cases lose our right to have a career, for we’ll be too busy taking care of the 14 children we were forced to have.  Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration, but probably not for some.

The point being that many, especially those who label themselves “conservatives”, seem to want to revert to the days of yore, the days when “a woman’s place is in the house,” preferably “barefoot and pregnant.”  The U.S., despite all the progress women have made over the past 150 years or so, is still very much male-dominated.  March is International Women’s Month … how many of you knew that?  It certainly wasn’t noted much in the media, not like Black History Month (February) or Pride Month (June)…
