Plot summary
A tribute to the U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team, formed in 1943 by Presidential permission with Japanese-American volunteers. We follow the training of a platoon under the rueful command of Lt. Mike Grayson who shares common prejudices of the time. The 442nd serve in Italy, then France, distinguishing themselves in skirmishes and battles; gradually and naturally, Grayson's prejudices evaporate with dawning realization that his men are better soldiers than he is.

It down plays so much of everything they did! The 442nd Regimental Combat Team (RCT) was the most decorated unit for its size & length of service, in the entire history of the US Military. In total, about 18,000 men served, earning over 4,000 Purple Hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, 588 Silver Stars, 29 Distinguished Service Crosses, 21 Medals of Honor, & 7 Presidential Unit Citations. Also called The Purple Heart Battalion, for its 250% casualties rate; they were predominantly assigned $uìcíde missions, with soldiers repeatedly sneaking out of medic-aid stations & field hospitals to rejoin their unit after being injured on the line. They volunteerd for duty, while leaving their families behind in the interment camps to prove their loyalty as American citizens. “You fought not only the enemy, but you fought prejudice — and you have won” - 33rd President Harry Truman
