Nearly one year into his internment, Army recruiters visited Poston to recruit soldiers for the 442nd Regiment. Wada volunteered. Looking around at his family and friends, he figured that if nobody volunteered, they would never get out of the camp. Wada received backlash from fellow internees for deciding to volunteer. Many people feared that his service might somehow make things worse for the Japanese American community. Nonetheless, Wada persevered and moved ahead with volunteering, staying true to his mother’s expectation that he would fight for America.
