Over 50 years ago, the United States and the world were engaged in a catastrophic world war. Nearly 20,000 Americans of Chinese descent served in the nation’s armed services. The Organization of Chinese Americans is committed to ensuring that these Chinese American heroes and their perseverance, sacrifice and determination are not forgotten.

On Friday, April 28th, the Organization of Chinese Americans, Denver Chapter, will be holding a celebration honoring local Chinese American men and women who served in a wide variety of military and civilian wartime assignments. The evening will begin with a showing of a new documentary entitled "We Served with Pride: The Chinese American Experience in WWII." This documentary reveals for the first time the important and little known contributions and sacrifices of Chinese Americans in World War II.

Following the showing, local Chinese American WWII vets will be given special recognition as part of this celebration. George Ong, national OCA president, will be the master of ceremonies.
