Sons of the Marianas seeking Medal of Honour | The Pacific

Martin Manglona is one of the most distinguished CHamorro soldiers to serve in the US military.
But despite his acts of bravery during the Vietnam War, his recommendation for the Congressional Medal of Honour was downgraded due to discrimination. However, a grassroots campaign is seeking to rewrite the service records for Manglona and other sons of the Marianas.
‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea.
