A story I heard first hand from my uncle who fought under General Clark in Italy. You could feel the astonishment and pride of their modern Samurai hearts to hear a former American Marine tell of his admiration for the Japanese Americans whose record in WWII is the pride of a nation. Its quite the counterpoint to the shameful scandals and violence against women we've been seeing in Okinawa, which sickens me and embarrasses our nation so deeply. "Unlikely Liberators is the action-filled story of the men of the 100th Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Not trusted to fight in the Pacific, these sons of Japanese immigrants were sent instead to the European theater. In the eyes of their own government and the Europeans they liberated, they were an unlikely group of fighting men. They nevertheless engaged the enemy with astonishing heroism, winning battle after battle at Anzio, Salerno, Cassino, and in the Vosges Mountains. At the end of the war, the 100th and the 442nd emerged as America's most decorated units. They provided ample evidence of their patriotism to a country that had questioned their loyalty."
