History of the Philippine Islands 1941-1942 Battle Streamer
The Philippine Islands 1941-1942 Battle Streamer honors the bravery of U.S. forces who defended the Philippines against the Japanese invasion at the onset of World War II. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the Philippines became a key battleground in the Pacific Theater. Despite fierce resistance by American and Filipino forces, the island chain was eventually overrun by Japanese forces in early 1942.
The Battle of Bataan, the defense of Corregidor, and the subsequent Bataan Death March became defining moments of the campaign. The U.S. military, with assistance from the Filipino people, showed immense courage in the face of overwhelming odds, fighting to delay the Japanese advance and protect vital American interests in the Pacific. The battle was a harrowing chapter of World War II, and this streamer stands as a testament to the sacrifices made during that period, honoring both the military personnel and civilians involved in the defense of the Philippines.
