Congressman Filner Introduces Bill to Honor Our Fallen Vietnam War Heroes

BILL INCLUDES PRESENTING FAMILIES OF VETERANS ADDED TO THE 'IN MEMORY BOOK' WITH A MEDAL

“My bill adds to this recognition by presenting the families of these veterans with a medal, to be known as the ‘Jesus (Chuchi) Salgado Medal’ to be issued by the Secretary of Defense,” said Congressman Filner. “Chuchi Salgado was an outstanding individual who lived in my Congressional district, whose exposure to Agent Orange ultimately led to his death. His relatives continue to live in my district.”
