The 442nd RCT would go to fight in Europe and become the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in the history of the US military-this while their families and loved ones were locked into barbwire fenced camps with military guards in desolate locations in the interior US. The unit totaling about 18,000 men, were awarded over 4,000 Purple Hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, 560 Silver Star Medals, 21 Medals of Honor, and seven Presidential Unit Citations.
