And one Army General created a personal legacy that will live in US Military history forever as a negative example .
"On 12 November, General Dahlquist ordered the entire 442nd to stand in formation for a recognition and award ceremony. Of the 400 men originally assigned to K Company only eighteen turned out, joined by eight survivors from I Company. Upon reviewing the meager assemblage Dahlquist became irritated, ignorant of the sacrifices that the unit had made in serving his orders. He demanded of Colonel Virgil R. Miller, "I want all your men to stand for this formation." Miller responded simply, "That's all of K company left, sir."[14]:95"

This historical documentary is heart rich. These Japanese Americans were willing to face death to prove their loyalty to America. They suffered numerous deaths, great hardships, and then racism to still declare America home. PFC (Join to see) this was such a great watch. And History I was never taught. But there will always be a plethora of data we will not have time to learn. Great, Great, Great

just two things to add:

The Nisei who worked for the NIS in the pacific get no credit but had to have even bigger balls. Even if the never show up in films

The movies "Go for Broke 'is free and legal on Youtube, its copy-write has long expired, Most of the actors saw combat in the 442nd/!00th, even the comic relief character.
