Reporting from San Diego and Washington -- For more than 60 years, Cenon Antonio has waited for the payment promised by the U.S. government for fighting the Japanese after they conquered the Philippines early in World War II.
When the war was over, the United States reneged on its commitment to Antonio and other Filipino veterans, leaving what one U.S. senator calls a stain on the nation's honor.
"When America was down, we Filipinos stood up and fought beside America, but when peacetime came, the Americans were stingy," said Antonio, 82, who lives in San Diego.
Antonio said he still has nightmares of barely escaping capture by the Japanese, who tortured and killed prisoners.
