The 442nd was composed of Japanese American volunteers, many from US concentration camps. While fighting in Europe against Nazi Germany, their families were still being held by the United States in those concentration camps. The 442nd is the most decorated US military unit in history, earning more than 18,000 awards, including 21 Medal of Honors, 560 Silver Stars, 4,000 Bronze Stars, and more than 4,000 Purple Hearts.
