Now I have looked online, and have not found any information regarding this through the USNA Alumni Association. How would I go about finding out the validity of this statement. The statement is made in a documentary I saw on PBS on Filipino American History produced in Washington State.
Any help would be greatly appretiated.

The obvious question would be if you went to the local PBS website to look up the program. Then, I would go to the national PBS website with the information.
