Recognition in America: Lt Col Elpidio C Carbajosa, WWII Veteran

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC),1 Archives Dr., St. Louis, Missouri, 63138, USA has not responded to my request for my Father's WWII service records which I mailed sometime in late March 2020 or early April 2020. Maybe because of the pandemic? Let's give them time.

Awaiting response from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), 1 Achieves Dr, St. Louis, Missouri 63138 USA before the next step to applying for the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal (CGM).

I passed all career civil service exams I took in the Philippines but didn't know there is this benefit available if I didn't. https://pvao.gov.ph//how-to-get-a-veterans-preference-rat/

If you are a "decorated" WWII Veteran, you need to apply for this award. This used to be awarded for military service only but now people from all walks of life for exemplary community service are eligble. Applications are available online. https://ph.usembassy.gov/philippine-wwii-veterans-awarded-/
