On June 9,1945 his pay resumed until he was honorably discharged on May 16,1946. Unfortunately, he was not paid or compensated for the period between December 1,1941 and June 9,1945.He is now bedridden after an open-heart surgery at the VA Hospital in San Diego California last August 1999.A fellow veteran was awarded similar claim ,then he realized that the government owed him back wages when he read about it.Last June this year he filed a claim and the VA responded, that the Department of Veterans Affairs Has not been authorized by Congress to compensate Prisoner of War veterans. The VA now find my father as incompetent or lack of mental capacity as a result of his heart surgery at the veterans hospital. I am now his legal custodian and I am seeking help and justice for my father.He would like to receive the same recognition and compensation as his fellow veterans and I hope its not to late.
Sincerely,
Edmund Celis
