The 442d Infantry Regiment: Japanese-Americans in the US Army

Joining me is MAJ Benjamin Griffin, the Chief of the Military History Division at the US Military Academy (West Point). Ben shares the story of the 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442d Infantry Regiment, which were Japanese-American units organized in 1942 and 1943, respectively, to allow these Americans to serve their country in the war. Since this year's series is only just beginning, we will have to continue the incredible story of this Regiment in later episodes, but the 442d becomes the most decorated unit in our history. 

MAJ Griffin also has a book, Reagan's War Stories, which can be found here: https://www.usni.org/press/books/reagans-war-stories or here https://amzn.to/3JUqBfA (Amazon Affiliate Link)
