congressional gold medal ceremony," Debby Chan Robertson wrote. "During World War II, 20,000 Chinese Americans served their country with patriotism and honor, in spite of discrimination and/or exclusion. Included in the gold medal honor were the late Chan brothers of Astoria, Arthur (U.S. Army)." The ceremony is available to watch at caww2.org or bit.ly/ChanHonor "The Chan brothers' military service was a prelude to their successful careers: Harvey as an U.S. meteorologist at the Warrenton airport station, and Arthur as a professional photographer and business owner of Chan Studio in Astoria." "Congressional gold medal ceremonies were scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C.," Debby explained, "and regionally, but due to COVID-19, the ceremony was presented virtually on Dec. 9. The Chan family members were able to virtually attend from the Seattle, Hawaii, Portland and Astoria areas, along with 1,475 other viewers."
