100th INF BTT & 442nd REG Combat Team Memorial at Hawaii Army History Museum Honolulu HI
Dublin Core
Description
Inside the Hawaii Army History Museum is an entire section dedicated to the Hawaiian members of the two main Japanese-American US Army units that were formed during World War II. Despite the fact that they and their families were denied their civil rights and many were sent to "Resettlement" Campus across isolated areas of the U.S., Japanese-Americans volunteered and fought in the war. The 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team proved themselves above and beyond on the battlefield. The 442nd became the most decorated Army unit during World War II. This section of the museum tells their story and honors its members many of whom were from Hawaii. It also recognizes the 11 servicemen from Hawaii who have been awarded the U.S.'s highest medal for valor - the Medal of Honor.
