The 442 nd Japanese-American Regiment

Japanese-American 442 nd Regiment The 442d Combat Team was activated in February The enlisted personnel was composed entirely of Americans of Japanese ancestry. They are as thoroughly loyal as German Americans, Italian Americans, or any other American of foreign ancestry. A category, of course, into which all of us fall.

Actions after Pearl Harbor-December 7, 1941 Not all Japanese Americans were eager to serve their government 110,000 American citizens of Japanese into ten inland internment camps The enlistment of Japanese-American men into the U.S. Armed Forces was now acceptable Some refused to cooperate with the draft until their rights were restored. Many objected to the loyalty questionnaire they were forced to sign, which asked them to renounce allegiance to the Japanese emperor, a provision many found insulting.

Navajo Code Talkers Job The primary job  to talk, transmit information on tactics and troop movements  Receive and take orders and other vital battlefield communications over telephones and radios.. The Navajo Code Talker's Dictionary The code talker first had to translate each Navajo word into its English equivalent Then he used only the first letter of the English equivalent in spelling an English word. Example: the Navajo words "wol-la-chee" (ant), "be-la-sana" (apple) and "tse-nill" (axe) all stood for the letter "a."
