National Heroes Day

Sunday was National Heroes Day here in the Philippines.

On this occasion every Filipino commemorates the "Cry of Pugad Lawin" which marks the beginning for the fight for independence from Spain by revolutionaries led by Andres Bonifacio.

But it includes a "Thank you" for every Filipino who worked to make his or her country better.

Although it is not necessarily a celebration of our FilAm World War II vets, I thought that this was a nice video reminding young folks that they live free because of our heroes.



Note: my husband Lolo is a veteran of World War II...
