Took an Oath
I'll gladly stand up next to you and defend it
I'm so mad and scared for my children's future
Is this what you want for future generations
And in today's news the US Army no longer values his contributions to our Nation

This ANGERS me to the core. If you visited that Monument for at least 20 years after it was dedicated, there would be 442 Vets there who were passionate about telling their story, one filled with valor in the face of heartbreak. They were the best of America. Who the fuck thinks they can deny that?

The 442 was one of the most decorated regiments in history, mostly made up of 2nd generation (Nisei) Japanese Americans. Grandpa volunteered for service after his family was forcibly relocated to an internment camp in Poston AZ.

Those who survived lost saw their brothers, uncles, and cousins die on the battlefield next to them. They continued to fight for freedom and returned to a nation that often treated them as second class citizens. They. Are. Heros.

The 442 was sent on so many suicide missions. Our government treated them like they were expendable, but they still fought with all they could.

In Hawaii, we celebrate the 442nd. The Japanese-American combat unit, one of the most decorated of WWII, has also been wiped.
