Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

During the war, interned Japanese Americans protested their treatment and claimed to be recognized as loyal Americans. Japanese Americans were barred from military service early in the war, but in 1943 the Army began actively recruiting Nisei to join the new All Japanese American Corps. More than 30,000 Nisei men served in uniform, mostly in Europe, although some became fluent in Japanese to work as translators in the Pacific. An all-Nisei unit, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team is the largest in U.S. history and has earned more than 18,000 of his personal awards, including 52 Service Crosses and the Congressional Medal of Honor.
