My grandfather had two younger brothers who fought in WWII,enlisting from Texas. I know the youngest brother fought in ltaly at Anzio beach. I commend the men of the 100th batt. team & the 442nd lnf. Reg. who saved the 36th Texas/Oklahoma division in France. All the Allied forces should never be forgotten by their descendants,for they sacrificed so the younger generations could live free!
My father was USN in the Italian invasion. When I was stationed there in 94-98, he would ask me about the places he remembered. His memory was pretty good for castles and neighborhoods. I met many "Red Bulls" They gave me some original patches.
Thanks for this sweet movie. Loved the fight and the pig giveaway scenes. All WWII soldiers gave their lives for our country, but to do so while your friends and family members may have been held in internment camps and treated like enemy traitors for no fault of their own was something extra special.
I greatly appreciate this posting and I heard much about it. I had three grand uncles who served in WWII: two in the 100th Infantry Battalion and the other w/ the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, so the film helps me better to understand the men who they were. Thx.
You may be thinking of the Tadeo Munemori interchange where the 405 (San Diego) freeway and the 105 (Ronald Reagan) freeway intersect right next to LAX. Millions of people see the sign with his name on it every year. I often wonder how many know who he was and why his sacrifice and heroism are commemorated. Hopefully some of them look him up.
the best part of the commendation at the end ... it wasnt for defeating the enemy of germany but for defeating the enemy of racism in the army and proving that race colour and religion have no meaning in the army ... in the army you are judged on your ability to do the job you have been given ...
The men of the 442nd were educated by the old concept of being an American and not encouraged to see themselves as hyphenated Americans. This policy was enacted in the late 1800's as the US leadership was concern that if the US had to fight Germany would German Americans (second largest ethnic group after the Irish Americans) would have mixed emotions about it. The education worked because most German Americans had no problems killing Germans during WW1 and WW2. It was one of those facts that befuddled Adolf Hitler when he learned many American POW's of German descent captured felt they were Americans and not Germans. The educational system also affected Japanese Americans. Many had families detained in Hawaii and west coast. Despite that many volunteer for the 442nd to prove they were more American than Japanese. Today our education system emphasize to the people of color they identify themselves as hyphenated Americans. Asians, Hispanics and Blacks are taught to label themselves separate from the white American population. So how will Chinese Americans feel if we had to go to war against China? How will Jewish Americans feel if we had to go to war against Israel?
@@butchyshoe Yeah but I STILL think they were some trigger happy bastards when they attacked USS Liberty with 34 KIA, 174 WIA. Rest in Peace Sailors 🇺🇸.
A cast supporting roles made up of unknowns that bears resemblance to the Jack Lord's Hawaii Five-0 man off the street ones, goes to show you that 90% of directing is casting and acting isn't acting when you are being yourself.
The civilians killed in Honolulu were friendly fire casualties from Navy 5in guns. All the anti-aircraft crews were on leave and the AA ammo locked up. Coincidence 🤔
I really enjoyed this movie and in years past actually knew a couple of men of the 442nd. Very great men.
Thanks for watching! May the Sauce be with you.
Awesome movie thank you for sharing

The kind of movie a lot of people today need to see. I've always been a Van Johnson fan.
Great movie. I used to have a VHS of this one...so glad you posted it. It never gets old.

One of the greatest WWII movies, proud of their sacrifices...🇺🇸

Did reveal the association with the girls

Wow! I'm an old film buff. But seriously, I never even heard or seen this film before. Great movie.
One of my favorites

God bless those brave soldiers of the 442nd. They are all war heroes.
I love this movie true story the 442 troops thank you u so Much
A great movie!! And quite progressive, amazing. And today, have we gone backwards? It is sad.
Yes it is very sad indeed.
I think only some have reverted to intolerant bigotry, but they make the most noise.
Great movie. I've seen it many times over the years.
Daniel Inouye, 442 hero, Medal of Honor recipient, US Senator, great American.
I wonder what happened that he became an anti-gun pro-abortion leftist...
Anyone else marched with shin splints and marched beyond tears.
One ruck march in particular destroyed toenails on both feet. Twenty years later they still haven't healed right.
Mr. Miyagi was a MOH recipient.😁😁😁
July 10, 2020----Think on highway 99 in California, there's a stretch of it named after the 442nds.

This was somewhat comedic, but a great change of pace to show the other side

My grand parents immigrated from Germany in 1882 and were worried that they might get drafted during WW1 but I am sure they would have gone if drafted
Eisenhower was of German extraction
we will never go to war with Israel. PERIOD !!
E. Puribus Unum! 🇺🇸 All Americans need to live by our motto.
