Last May, the Chinese American World War II Veterans Congressional Gold Medal Act was introduced in the US House of Representatives and US Senate, but has since been stalled in committee.
Two other Chinese-American veterans, Ronald Won, 93, and Dale King, 98, also attended the press event to offer their support for the measure.
So far, other historically overlooked military units, such as Filipino World War II veterans, Navajo Code Talkers and the Monument Men already have been honored with the Congressional Gold Medal.
"The Veterans Administration projects that by 2036, no living veterans of World War II will be left to recount their experiences," said Chan.
"We can do no less than honor the remaining survivors with the Congressional Gold Medal."
