well it's time to share with you another story of one of mine Stand where they fought tours. This time I can show you some photos of a Battle only a few know of - The Battle of Bruyere and the rescue of the lost Battalion in October 1944.
On the tracks of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team
The 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, units of the US Army made up of Americans of Japanese ancestry. This is the story of their part in the Battle of Bruyères and Biffontaine as well as the their successful rescue of the "Lost Batallion" (1st Battalion of the 141st "Alamo" Regiment, 36th Texas-Division). The 442nd RCT lost more than 800 troops while rescuing 211 men behind enemy lines.
Those battles is also the climax of the Nisei’s battle against suspicion, intolerance, and a hatred that was conceived in some dark corner of the American mind and born in the flames that swept Pearl Harbor.
MOH recipients from WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Two-parts. Very well done. Sent to me by my friend Hugh Ames, 504th PIR, 82nd Airborne. His buddy Lewis Millett, is included in this video.
After you view the first part, the second will begin automatically, after a few seconds.
