The U.S. military is celebrating an all-Japanese U.S. Army unit that was key in liberating Italy’s central Tuscan region from Nazi-Fascist forces in July 1944, even while their family members were interned at home as enemies of the state following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.
Yoko Sakato, left, and Valerie Matsunaga, right, relatives of soldiers who fought in the 442nd Infantry Regiment during the World War II, are flanked by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Michael A. Rosado, as they attend a commemoration at the U.S. military base of Camp Darby, Tuscany, central Italy, Thursday, July 11, 2024.
The 442nd Infantry Regiment, including the 100th Infantry Battalion, was composed almost entirely of second-generation American soldiers of Japanese ancestry, who fought in Italy and southern France. Known for its motto “Go For Broke,” 21 of its members were awarded the Medal of Honor. The Nisei commemoration at Camp Darby was held one week before the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Livorno, or Leghorn, on July 19, 1944. Local residents were also commemorating the anniversary this week.
Sakato recalled her father naming some of the areas and towns in Tuscany where he had fought as a soldier, but always in a very “naïve” way, as he was talking to kids.
