<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 3521371, member: 19765"]Great article here John! It's really a shame that Pearl Harbor was bombed in the first place but the truly amazing story is the story of our Japanese Americans who joined the US Army and represented the "GO FOR BROKE", motto by defending our army via the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, 100th Infantry in WWII. If you never heard the story, it's all over the internet. These soldiers had family who were living in internment camps because the US detained them into the camps. With that said, they still showed their allegiance to the USA anyways and kicked plenty of arses!! No other race has received more medals than our Japanese Heros!! Here's a pic of the coin set that was minted by the Norfed dollar creator, Bernard von Nothaus!
