RECOGNIZING CHINESE AMERICAN
WORLD WAR II VETERANS OF RED BLUFF
Please join the Helen and Joe Chew Foundation in a special joint tribute by having the descendants unveil a WWII Mural highlighting the accomplishments and historic achievements of our Chinese American WWII Veterans and their journey to the Congressional Gold Medal. A separate memorial and tribute will be made to recognize each C.A.C.A. Veteran recipient at their headstone buried in the segregated "Chinese Section".
On this Veterans Day, we will salute all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces, especially our Chinese American WWII Veterans, as they all served with great honor and pride for one country.
