Japanese Americans in wartime struggle and valor
The wartime internment era shaped Japanese Americans, with Issei guardians guiding camps, Nisei seeking loyalty, and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team becoming the most decorated unit. Sadao Munemori earned the Medal of Honor after heroically sacrificing himself near Seravezza Italy. Kazuo Masuda received the Distinguished Service Cross posthumously.
