You'd like to come and speak American Legion Post 384. Mayor Spencer, vice mayor of L.A., members of the council. I have been introduced to Roger Dole. I am a veteran and my father was a veteran in World War Two. Therefore, I am asking the board to support the Senate in Congress. Congress is built to remember and honor the Chinese Americans who served in World War Two. A little background in 1982 when the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed. Chinese were not allowed to have citizenship or bring their families here. And so by beginning of World War Two, our population has shrunk to about 80,000 people, about 120. And among that 80,000 people, 20,000 volunteered to serve in the military. And I think that most of us appreciate that. And I'd like to ask the council to strong to support the bill, to support the national governments movement to to honor those who served in World War Two. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
