FilVetRep presented at the 2026 Filipino American National Historical Society – FANHS conference in Arlington, Virginia last month. The FANHS presentation introduced the new content lessons and materials of Duty to Country, an online education program which describes the untold story of Filipinos who helped the US defeat Japan in World War II. This free, multimedia website features online exhibits, oral histories and lesson plans that have been developed by historians and educators to teach this overlooked but important history. https://dutytocountry.org/
