Description
The story of Japanese Americans being interned during the Second World War is familiar. However, 33,000 men of that generation volunteering to serve their country at a time when their loyalty was in serious question is not well remembered. One of the most amazing stories of the Second World War is that some of these men represented the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. This program will reveal the story of their service, patriotism, bravery, and sacrifice from 1942-1945.
