442nd Infantry Regiment

    The 442nd is a very decorated regiment which was made up of only Japanese Americans. It was specified that it would primarily target the people in internment camps and sometimes if people tried to evade the draft they would be imprisoned. Also, they were to see who their loyalty was sided with. Eventually, they got around 14,000 Japanese to make up the regiment. For training, the infantry division would train at Camp Shelby at Mississipi. Some of them were Military Intelligence Service to work as translators/interpreters.  They fought in eight major campaigns in the European country since they were refused to fight in the Pacific Theatre. One of their major sacrifices was when the friendly battalion was a mile in enemy lines ten the division came in and sacrificed 100s of men to save that Battalion. The unit was also the most decorated units as they received 9,000 purple hearts, 4,000 bronze stars, and 21 Medal of Honors. This made them respected and praised by Truman.  Even with this Heroism they still couldn't change the old stereotypes that the Americans had against the Japanese.
