the MOST decorated united in US Army history..... wow.

This movie describes what happened in Hawaii to a group of AJA university students right after the Pearl Harbor attack being hastily assembled in a civil defense unit called the Territorial Guard by the governor. Normally, the National Guard would serve this role, but the Hawaii National Guard had been federalized into the Regular Army in late 1940. People in Washington, D.C. were alarmed that this civil defense group had so many AJAs that it forced the military governor to discharge all AJAs. The disappointed AJA students who were then persuaded by Hung Wai Ching to offer their services as a civilian labor unit to the military became the Varsity Victory Volunteers (VVV). The VVV so impressed the Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy when he visited Hawaii that it was cited as one of the primary reasons along with the impressive training record of the 100th Infantry Battalion at Camp McCoy for the authorization of the 442nd RCT in January 1943. The closing scenes recreate the iconic 442nd photo at Iolani Palace of the 2,600 chosen out of the 10,000 who signed up in Hawaii to join the new unit. The movie ends there, and the story of the 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd would require a sequel. encyclopedia.densho.org/Hawaii%20Territorial%20Guardencyclopedia.densho.org/Varsity%20Victory%20Volunteers encyclopedia.densho.org/442nd%20Regimental%20Combat%20Team

Thank you! I agree 😁 about it being taught in American schools 🇺🇸

Thanks! I did the quick and dirty and Eliot Honda made it much prettier 😍 But we also had some awesome footage and pix to work with so our job was kinda ez 😊

If it was about White people the Left will call it racist and white Supremicist. If it was Black then the Left will praise it to high noon. The right won't complain UNLESS it's a Black revisionist version like Black Caesar. Japanese as Asians are ignored by the Right as they don't care much about race. Just opposing the left. Asians are now disadvantaged because they are too "successful" by the left www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-adv-asian-race-tutoring-20150222-story.html Some Asians have turned against affirmative action policies...

For a US propaganda movie of the era, it is surprisingly good. At least it emphasizes the right points. The men of the 442nd were amazingly courageous, both physically (in combat) and morally (in volunteering when they themselves and most of their families were illegally incarcerated in concentration camps in the US). They helped rid the world of fascism and helped improve the United States live up to its promises. We still have a long way to go, but these men and their families (and the Japanese Americans who resisted conscription on principal) helped make Americans more free. Now fascism is raising its ugly head again, and Japanese Americans are again fighting for a better future.

@@patricknorton5788 Exactly. Socialists and communists and race baiters in liberal universities are the true fascists nowadays just like when communist Stalin allied with Hitler from 1939-41 to start WWII.

I am in awe of your father and his men. The greatest of the greatest. The world will not see again.

@@stevek8829 Thank you

tell your dad "thank you" .. i will rent the movie and show it to my kids.

@johnwakamatsu3391 My grandfather was in F Company! Ryoichi “Roy” Matsuda

I remember meeting your grandfather at a Fox Company Las Vegas reunion. I believe he brought almonds to the reunion.@@omocha2k1

Hahaha! What a pathetic and shallow comment. So, you’re not a fan of the original Halloween film then?

But the story is good.

I'll give you and your family one week to pack only what you can carry, lose everything you own, get on board a train, pull down the shades, end up four hours later in the middle of a desert, walkthrough barb wire fence, and stay imprisoned for four years. Oh, and then walk out and make a High budget film. Good luck.

Hello John, are you Lillian's son? I met her with Lucius Horiuchi a number of years ago. Long story of how we connected.

Please read the synopsis above. Mahalo!

@@wegoftw Thanks!

I would like to know as well. My grandfather was in the 442nd as an Lieutenant and served with these men. I was working on something myself, nothing as spectacular as this but more of a tribute video. Some pictures my grandfather has, some in the public domain. I am planning on using any footage that is in the public domain as well. I would wholeheartedly support and want to watch this film. I hope it is coming around, people need to see how much these people overcame. Discrimination does NOT equal destination. All you have to do is "Go for Broke".

Jonathan Zukowski Hey Jonathan, I just started doing research on the Neisei soldier of the 442nd RCT in WW2.Its a Podcast that will be dedicated solely to those brave Japanese Americans!!!! I’ll keep you posted on a release date.
