As I may have mentioned in class, the most highly decorated American unit in World War II was one comprised of Japanese-Americans. Nisei are 1st generation Japanese not born in Japan, or in this case, 1st generation Japanese-Americans.
The unit was the 442nd Infantry Regiment of the 34th Infantry Division. They fought in Italy, France, and Germany.
