On February 27, 1964, Francis Shigeo Takemoto became the first Asian American general in U.S. history — while serving as an elementary school principal.
Before that, he was a math teacher and a proud member of the 100th Infantry Battalion.
He answered both callings at the same time.

Follows the Japan American troop in WWII as they face racism and battles along the way. Surprisingly sensitive for its time. Some good moments and a fun watch!

Hey @ABDanielleSmith , how did we go from a $3.9B surplus in 2022 to a projected $6.5B deficit this year?

Today we remember Private First Class #SadaoMunemori (August 17, 1922 – April 5, 1945), who made the ultimate sacrifice for his fellow soldiers and became the first #JapaneseAmerican to receive the #MedalofHonor during WWII.

Whether JFK ever formally accepted the 442nd honor is unclear.
But the gesture speaks volumes.

My first time watching. Very good movie. Enjoyed seeing Henry Nakamura in something other than Westward the Women.

I recommend watching GO FOR BROKE! because it shows Japanese Americans in a positive light (pretty rare in the early 50s.)
Apparently the film is public-domain, so there may be decent copies on YouTube.
