To see your friend get gunned down like that ... wow.

I failed my exam

Impressive are the men of the 442, thank you for your service!

Every male member of my mother’s and father’s families were put in ‘relocation’ camps -FDR himself called them concentration camps. Every one came out of those prisons to serve the country that put them in there. Military Intelligence Service Language School, 10th Mountain Div., 11th Airborne Div., 442nd Regimental Combat Team. My dad went to the Luzon Campaign with the 25th Infantry Div. He went with the division to Nagoya in the Army of Occupation, HQ and later was attached with the 2nd Marine Div. In Nagasaki. I wear my dad’s dog tag to this day to honor what they all did.

Total RESPECT for Mr. Shiosaki! HERO!

Thank you for your service sir

These guys were willing to die for a country who threw their parents and siblings into internment camps. Warriors

This man even being capable of smiling is unreal courage

so inspirational and emotional❤‍🔥

Thank you for sharing your story

Much respect. Thank you, Mr. Shiosaki. The 100/442 was amazing to say the least.

2023 lol

I cried too. He died so that Japanese Americans would be seen as "real Americans" too. Damn. 😢

Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that this would’ve been me.

Looks a lot like my mom. She was from Japan. She to was subject hate and prejudice from white people. She was always polite to everyone.

The utmost respect to these heroes

Sir thank you for your service

America is root cause of every world problem be religious financial or terrorism UN is also a usa tool

Say this to american slave pms of nippon

"No, the Japanese aren't invading, we Japanese Americans, some from camps in the US, have come to liberate you." Horrific what this man had to go through to "prove" his loyalty..

War is hell, and the decision-making is worse... 😢

An American hero.

Conditions in Japan "during" WWII? How does one travel to Tokyo from the USA during war time? Just cruise in on a US ship? 😂

It is amazing! When I was young (I'm white), I went to a book launch of a Nisei volunteer. It was almost all vets. "What are you doing here?" the author asked me, pleasantly surprised. I just smiled I guess. I wish I could've said, "To see what incredible, astonishing men look like."

glad you made it

It’s too bad Japan 🇯🇵 went sour.

As a real Japanese, I'm telling you: Japan will rise again and this time we'll beat 'merica and China. They'll both kneel to us. The good news is the 'mericans are actually helping us to achieve this goal this time.

"Go For Broke" Hail to the 442! Heroes forever

The FBI has always been a power abusing thug.

That's funny about the eyes. We Americans had our silly ideas, too. One Aircraft carrier captain told his pilots that the slanted eyes of Orientals limited their peripheral vision.🙃

Amidst the turmoil of World War II, A regiment of soldiers stood so true, Nisei Americans, born and bred, To their country, their loyalty they pled. For though their nation saw them with distrust, Their courage and bravery never rusted, And they fought for freedom and justice, Their hearts and minds filled with righteousness. Through fire and smoke, they marched on, Their courage shining like the dawn, And with each battle, they proved their worth, For freedom, they fought with all their mirth. Their flag, the stars and stripes, they waved, A symbol of freedom, for which they braved, And in their hearts, the love of their land, A loyalty that, with blood, they'd stand. So let us remember their sacrifice, Their bravery and honor, never to be priced, For in the face of hate and suspicion, They showed us the power of loyalty's conviction. And though their story is one of pain, Their courage and spirit forever remain, A testament to the strength of the human will, And a reminder of freedom's promise still.

Respect to the 442nd. The most decorated battalion in American history.

Nothing says "adult" like lashing out at children for something someone else did.

Heartbreaking.

That's an insensitive thing for a teacher to say to a kid.

Still stab you in the back in a heartbeat,fabatical as any suicide bomber

The Japanese Army unit sent to Italy was the most decorated in all WW 2. They earned their US citizenship & freedom.

Was your father upset at what Japan did? Actually the camps probably saved your lives from vigilante justice, would've probably happened. Not giving back your property was dead wrong.

Interesting tactic lol

Most shameful part of US history

He laughs at what will make most men faint! SUPERHERO level courage and strength! 👏

Hawaiian Japanese called mainland Japanese "kotonks". Can anyone tell me why.

This video is so untalked about this deserves more attention

This is really important to hear even as a Japanese American, the elders in my family didn't talk about their time at camp. I know bits and pieces but not in detail, they were also sent to the Puyallup assembly center. Thank you for sharing this.

Bryan Takeda, thank you for remembering Pasadena. I grew up with my Sansei friends going to Jackson Elementary on Woodbury Avenue, Washington Jr High and Muir High Schools and worked part time at Lincoln Avenue Nursery. Our friends ran J & J Auto on Fair Oaks Avenue. Yes, I played in the Japanese little league and scouts. Thinking back about the gardeners, do you remember the huge Gardeners Picnic at Brookside Park?

1:13 really feel this guy

so dumb... we were at war and japanese were crafty... lots of traitors in america

I can understand this man's anger. No, back then a white regiment would not have been sent on a suicide mission to rescue a group of Japanese American soldiers. The 442nd were expendable. Call them heroes afterward and make it harder for their grandchildren to go to college.

Auntie Mako!!!!!! I cannot believe there is this footage of my Auntie Mako!!!!! May she rest in peace.
