I Can Never Forget

Here are the voices and stunning images of extraordinary men, Japanese American soldiers of World War II who belonged to the most decorated units of their size in U.S. Army history: the 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Together, the men of the 100th/442nd were an unstoppable force as they blazed through Europe with their "Go For Broke" spirit. Feared by German troops, revered by villagers, the Japanese Americans were at once fierce fighters, gentle liberators and prisoners of war in more ways than one. Now, decades after the war, the usually reserved and silent warriors reveal their innermost thoughts and feelings about this tumultuous time in their lives. We hear from men who volunteered from Hawaii plantations and American-style concentration camps. We discover how the men rose above the binds of war and racism and responded to injustice with an untarnished record of valor.
