Educational Resources
The book,Unsung Heroes, published by Chinese Americans Citizen Alliance (C.A.C.A.) Boston, highlights deeds and accomplishments of Chinese American WWII Veterans.
Many of the articles are written by sons, daughters, and grandchildren of veterans. It’s a remembrance book for our current and future generations. The first five chapters cover deeds and accomplishments of veterans across the country. The last two chapters are devoted to New England veterans.
The book was initially sponsored by a small group of volunteers to fund for 300 copies, where New England WWII veterans who contributed their bios for the book were given complimentary copies. Proceeds of sales go to C.A.C.A. Boston support of Congressional Gold Medal activities; not for profit to any individuals.
