Great article about the Medal of Honor Review for #AAPIVeterans provision that I included in the #NDAA17 #AAPI https://t.co/ecIBcshsxX

[Mark Takai @RepMarkTakai]

During the #KoreanWar and #VietnamWar, #AAPIVeterans were discriminated against due to the color of their skin. #AAPI

[Mark Takai @RepMarkTakai]

#AAPIVeterans were often under-awarded or not awarded at all for actions of valor that go far beyond the call of duty. #AAPI #Veterans

[Mark Takai @RepMarkTakai]

I intro'd HR 3870 last year, it has 86 bipartisan cosponsors. Lets call for action for our #AtmoicVeterans. https://t.co/u7FrNsb5is

W/an approximated 35% rate of cancer, families have lost many of these #AtomicVeterans, & those who survive battle health problems everyday.

Though Congress it, the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act doesn't cover #AtomicVeterans who cleaned up radioactive debris. #AtomicVets
