The Iloilo City Council enacted a resolution declaring March 17 as Iloilo Veterans’ Memorial Day. A day to commemorate the courage of our heroes who fought side-by-side with the American Forces, and to recognize the heroic deeds they exemplified during the Second World War. In amid of this crisis, let us pause to give gratitude for the services that went above and beyond the call of duty.
