NaFFAA mourns Quesada’s death
February 22, 2008
NaFFAA said A resolute fighter for justice and a long-time advocate for the Filipino veterans cause has departed us, joining his brave comrades who had lost their lives in a war that has left the few remaining survivors still waiting for the day when America restores their dignity and honor. All his life, this is what Col. Quesada valiantly fought for. Col. Quesada fought in WWII as a key officer of the well known Hunters ROTC Guerilla. He later served in and retired as a Colonel in the U.S. Army.
Through his mighty pen and passionate discourses, Col. Quesadas unstinting devotion to the plight of Filipino World War II veterans has inspired all of us over the years to continue their struggle, from the grassroots to the halls of Congress. While we grieve over his passing, we stand proud of what Col. Quesada has done to keep their message of hope alive. Its as much a struggle for them as it is for our community, and for generations to come.
The surviving veterans dont have many years left. With one less voice advocating for them, our community needs to step up the pressure on Congress and urge passage of the equity bill this year. For the sake of our veterans and the just cause they lived and died for, we must keep on fighting.
