Against All Odds

War trivia: What infantry group emerged as the most decorated unit in the history of the United States Army? Answer: The all-Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team, with 18,000 medals of valor and over 10,000 Purple Hearts. More facts: They volunteered from prison, as the Japanese-American population was imprisoned in desert concentration camps across the United States from 1942 to 1945. Their crime: Being Japanese descendants. After the war, many of them were homeless, as they were deprived of their estates and businesses without due process. Their losses totaled between 1.2 to 3.1 billion dollars. The feat and trials of the 442nd remain largely unknown to this day. What possessed these men to fight so hard for America...? Against All Odds was inspired by a true story.
