- Barney Hajiro, a veteran of World War II and Medal of Honor recipient, recalls the brutal fighting he and his fellow members of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team endured to relieve a battalion of the 141st Infantry Regiment that was surrounded by German soldiers.
His buddy gets shot in the spine and they have to convince him to go to the doctor rather than continue fighting with his friends. What a group of absolute badasses.
Awesome.....God Bless the 442nd..
Much respect. Thank you, Mr. Hajiro.
Its unimaginable the amount of bravery and commitment these men possessed! Its an honor to be able to hear their stories.
"To heck with that" this man really is the badass!!!😎
I met a 442nd WWII Vet
Thank you sir for your service
He wiped them out.
Using a BAR.
They were shooting at him, close quarters.
So he killed them all.
Though they even wounded him too. Still, he just wiped them out.
My uncle my grandma brother was part of K company and I had another uncle part of the 100th battalion. Crazy to hear him say that the Germans was focused on those two companies and then to think about “ho my uncles was there”
Was it true they were rebellious? Wasn't there a book "The Boys from Company K"?
@@johnarmstrong472 oh I never heard of that book. My uncle passed away when I was really young, I only started to learn about what he did when I got into high school.
I wouldn’t doubt that they were. Because my uncle was really Kolohe growing up I heard. My grandma never told me any stories about his tiem in the war because when he came home the first thing he said “I do not want to talk about what happen”
@@daytonsupebedia3468 Wow, quite a military family! You must be Hawaiian, because of "kolohe" - I don't know what that means, though I could guess!
Naughty...
@@johnarmstrong472 There's a book, "The Derelicts of Company K," by Shibutani Tamotsu. It's about the Nisei draftees who entered training after the War with Germany was over, and they had to learn Japanese. It was a tough road for all involved. The book has funny moments; the way guys swear hasn't changed a lot.
A man name Barney sure would make a good drinking buddy....Respect Sir! Thank You!!!
Talks like a true soljah from the 'hood... eh? eh? eh? May God richly bless Mr. Hajiro.
