I recommend that one view, if possible, this documentary “HONOR & DUTY: MISSISSIPPI DELTA CHINESE” about the several hundred Chinese-American men from the delta counties of Mississippi who went off to war in all branches of the US military. This is an interesting niche history of a group of Americans who answered their nation’s call to duty.

Here is a good article about Samatha Cheng who was the person behind getting it made and on the air. http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/how-one-woman-helped-put-mississippi-delta-chinese-map-n562821

I personally vouch for her efforts at accuracy, especially in the military related parts about the soldier’s service.
