The saga of the "Lost Battalion" was brutal.

The Army considers it one of the most significant battles since the Revolutionary War. In the dark forests of France's Vosges mountain range 56 years ago, a unit of Asian Americans -- some of whose parents were imprisoned in U.S. World War II internment camps because of their race -- fought the odds in rescuing their fellow soldiers.

Excellant link! Thanks for posting it.

Japanese-Americans sure got a bad rap during the war. They were some of our best soldiers. I can't say much for Sen. Inoea's politics (sic) of Hawaii, but he was definitly a war hero, also. Almost gave his life saving some of his buddies, and seriously wounded.
