Thank you for your service, Uncle Ed! Hi Friends and Followers - this is my Uncle Ed. He fought alongside allies in World War 2 and in Korea. He’s the reason why I haven’t given up on going forward with historical costuming and impressions. When I got into pinup and WW2 communities , a lot of people think that POC’s were not a part of history. My Uncle Ed is proof of that. He saved his (all white) platoon from an enemy gunner earning him a silver star. It’s because of my Uncle Ed’s memory I’ve continued to attend and dress up for WW2 events in uniform. I know I’ve been discriminated against and given the stink eye too many a time at these events because of the color of my skin, shape of my eyes, etc. I’d like to remind people that my Uncle Ed saved white butts from the enemy. #representationmatters #filipinx #filipinxamerican #ww2 #filipinxhistory #asianamerican #asianamericanhistory #veteransday #koreanwar #worldwar2 https://www.instagram.com/afelineofspectre/p/BqDGn4CgI2b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=98ju700b49mt
