@workingclasshistory Gathering almost entirely second-generation American soldiers of Japanese descent, the 442nd U.S. Infantry Regiment became *the most decorated in U.S. military history*, fighting in the European theater of World War II.
Many of these soldiers had families in American concentration camps, while they were serving & dying for the U.S., also for their white fellow-Americans.
