My grandpa served in the 442 and would show me pictures and things he found while serving in Italy. I remember he had a German military hat that a soldier he captured gave to him. The German pow spoke English, so he was able have a conversation with him. It was fascinating hearing all his stories growing up. He and everyone in his unit are all true American heros. I hope a new big budget movie is made about them to remind the younger generation of their service.....their sacrifice. "GO FOR BROKE!"

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team Nickname: 'The Purple Heart Battalion' Motto: "Go for Broke" The 442nd Regimental Combat was the most decorated of all US Army units in World War II. What is more, it’s the most decorated unit in American history. Original fight song of the 442nd RCT Hawai'i Go For Broke Lyrics by Martin Kida -KIA, Score by T.Y. REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR History in every century We recall an act that lives forevermore We recall as into night they fall The things that happened on Hawaii shore Let's remember Pearl Harbor As we go to meet the foe Let's remember Pearl Harbor As we did the Alamo We will always remember How they died for liberty Let's remember Pearl Harbor And go on to victory GO FOR BROKE Four Forty-Second Infantry We are the boys of Hawaii Nei We will fight for you And the red white and blue And will go the front And back to Honolulu-lu-lu Fighting for dear old Uncle Sam Go for broke we don't give a damn We will round up the Huns At the point of a gun And victory will be ours Go for broke! Four Four Two! Go for broke! Four Four Two! And victory will be ours. All hail our company.

I still have the medal that President Obama gave him and the one thing that always stood with me for years was the mindset of “a man isn’t judge by what he’d do to his enemies but what he’d do for those he left behind”. The 442nd had the values of “this is our home and we protect its values and those back home” if you go to Bruyeres France there’s a monument dedicated to the 442nd

Although I loathed how the Americans and Canadians treated citizens of Japanese origin during the war, I also can't help but understand their dilemma considering the circumstances, the racist parts of it notwithstanding. I wonder if your grandparents held a pragmatic point of view when it came to that, because I know George Takei has often mentioned his dislike of the policy (and I can't blame him either). I'm glad that your grandfather survived the war 🙂 and I'm really glad I learned about this piece of history today, because I had no idea that any Americans of Japanese origin fought in the War. The picture of soldier yelling Banzai and charging the German lines it's something I never thought would ever cross my mind, much less consider happening in reality.

I think another reason why the Japanese American regiment wasn't deployed in the pacific theater might have been to avoid the risk of potential friendly fire incidents. In the heat of battle, weary US troops could have mistaken the Japanese American troops for Imperial Japanese soldiers in disguise and attacked them. It would have made it harder to tell friend from foe.

During high school, I met WW2 veterans from the 100th/442nd, through JROTC. The unit still exists, today. One of my seniors from High School ended up being in it, when he joined the Reserves. Btw, it didn't only consist of Japanese-American Nisei. They also had Issei and Sansei, as well as other Asian-Americans. Just majority of the unit consisted of Japanese-American Nisei, during the War. How I know that, is because they told my JROTC class when we met them.

This is what America should be. Doesn't matter what your skin tone is or where you're from, you should be seen as an equal. Like Martin Luther King Jr. said about people not being judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. These men were willing to die for a country that had basically disowned them. Our country isn't perfect, never has and never will be. But these men saw hope that in their serving they would be paving the hard difficult road to true equality and they earned the respect of even the top generals of the Military. We can't change the past, what's done is done; But we as a nation can most certainly learn something from the Greatest Generation. These men gave their all so that we could truly be free. Do not take your freedoms for granted, remember these men, remember their loyalty, and most importantly, remember their sacrifice for their country and for the world. They truly were Americans.

I feel like a broken record when I say that my grandfather was member of the 442nd RCT but at this point it’s so I don’t forget what he and his comrades did for his country despite the discrimination and racism they faced back home. My grandfather never spoke of his time with the 442nd and I never knew he was a doodler to begin with until he passed away when I was in elementary school (for reference I just graduated from university so a pretty long time ago in my lifetime). I just knew him as the grandpa that smoked cigars let me watch TV and occasionally gave me vanilla or chocolate pudding. He rarely ever said anything to me and the times he did it’s been so long I can’t remember what they were. I only learned about what his unit did when my mother got me a book about their exploits and what they went through. Edit: I did not intend for this to be the bed for a political debate.

@Delta. The interesting thing about this is that the Karate Kid came out in 1983 and at that time “officially” there was only 1 Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. This was to Sadao Munemori who killed quite a few Germans and took out machine gun pillboxes and one German threw a grenade and it bounced off his helmet so he dove on the grenade to save his fellow soldiers. I do not know for sure but in the KK movie they don’t necessarily say it was the Congressional Medal of Honor. Daniel says “valor”. It was only around this time frame in the 80’s, 90’s, and after that where a lot of research was being done and considering the services performed that 20 other Japanese Americans who got the 2nd highest medal were upgraded to the Congressional Medal of Honors. Of course those awarded were all alive to receive the medal but most of them say they didn’t really deserve it because many of their fellow Japanese American soldiers died and they are the ones who deserve it.

One of the many many great stories to come out of the 442nd was that of Young Oak Kim. A 2nd lieutenant of Korean descent, he was chosen as one of the officers of the 100th (later merged with the 442nd). Upon realizing the potential conflict of having a Korean officer, a lieutenant colonel immediately offered Kim a transfer. Kim declined, stating that the men were American, just as he was an American and that they would fight for America The 100th were at first distrusting of Kim for 3 reasons. He was a mainlander, a yobo (Hawaiian term for Koreans) and he had earned his commission through Officer Candidate School. But after the first month of combat, he had earned their respect and his derogatory nickname of GI Kim was changed to Samurai Kim. Kim would go onto becoming the first Asian to lead a combat battalion in the Korean War and finally retiring at the rank of Colonel as the highest decorated Asian American to ever serve.

Not only do they have a country to fight for, but they have something to PROVE. Henry Johnson and the Harlem Hellfighters are another great example of this phenomenon.

He helped clear out a German bunker, even when his arm was almost blown off by a grenade and hanging on by just a thread, and had himself treated even when the medics said they were out of anesthesia.

When Lieutenant General Dahlquist reviewed his 442 Regiment on November 12, 1944, he saw only 26 soldiers. And he questioned Lieutenant Colonel Miller whereabout of the rest of the unit. Lt.Col.replied "This is all the men, sir". Deeply shocked, the general could not utter a word after that.

No actually Dahlquist was angry because entire regiment didn't line up and left without saluting them. Because he thought other members didn't show up. But it was actually entire regiment was lining up and remaining members of the regiment. Later when Dalhquist asked to shake hands, leader of 442nd refused to shake hands with the general.
