Army division. General Mook. as he's known, is the author of Faith, Family, and Flag. Memoirs of an unlikely American Samurai Crusader. Here he is to tell the story.
of the Japanese who fought For the United States. In World War II. I have a daily standard mantra. which is every day is a great day, I have my faith, my family, and live in the finest country in the world. I said that every day.
every chance I get But although I am extremely positive and grateful, Having been born in the United States, I tell people. Uh when I was born here I hit the lotto.
So when I say that mantra, sometimes I get pushback about the finest country in the world, part. And I say, listen, I've been around the block a few times. You know, it does, it does help to be around about eight decades. And so I tell him. You know What I Join the military.
There had never been an Asian American admiral or general. In our armed forces.
Now I was not the first. I was about the third or fourth. The the club isn't real large.
Now has our country made mistakes? Obviously. But I'll tell you what, number one, We're the only country that I know of. That had a civil war, to abolish slavery costing over half a million lives to settle that situation. And Our President who ran on that platform was assassinated.
He gave up his life. Abraham Lincoln. knowing full well the risk he was taking. The military is a perfect example. President Truman in 1948 integrated.
Our military services. Prior to that, we had segregated units. They uh black units in World War Two we had the Japanese American unit, which, I might add, was the one hundredth Battalion four hundred and forty second Regimental Combat Team, which fought in Europe To this day it's the most highly decorated infantry unit uh of its size in a late of service. It was a unit that everybody wanted them assigned to them because of their bravery. By the way, the combat unit, a theater operation like the European theater of operation, we probably had nine million guys.
who served in that area during the war. and the reputation Of good units spreads like wildfire in combat zones, as well as the bad units. and the four forty second Their reputation was crazy. In fact, There isn't back in the late 90s, the Army selected The Ten Most Important BATTLES in the history of the United States Army. and one of them was the one in which the four forty second, Saved.
A Texas Army National Guard Battalion. in the mountains of France, The Germans had surrounded them. It was called the Lost Battalion. Hitler had ordered the annihilation of that unit. And They were in a very wooded area Uh Surrounded And it was and so they tried to send units in to rescue.
that battalion, but nobody could break through. Uh the Hundred Four Forty second had just come off of that operation. and normally when you have a major operation you're given a a little rest time. To reconstitute then get replacements and things like that, but the Hundred four forty second was ordered I like to go and save the lost battalion. or rescued the lost battalion.
They succeeded But in doing so You know, I w they save that I think two hundred.
Soldiers from that battalion Hello. who are remaining, who were still alive. In so doing, the battalion took eight hundred casualties. in order to get through.
So when that happened, you know, the word spread like crazy. It was here in this back in the States too, but You know, so the veterans after World War Two, when they came back, and they heard people bad mouthing. Americans of Japanese ancestry. i. e.
Japanese Americans. the veterans would say, Stop saying that. These people are loyal Americans. You know, and President Kuhman Uh honored them at the White House with a with a parade where he awarded their seventh Presidential Unit Citation to them, And he said You know, you guys fought two two fights. Against Fascism But also against racism.
And uh so that I I'm very proud to tell you that I had an uncle who was in that. I had relatives who served. Uh and We had Japanese American soldiers who fought in the Pacific. which was very nobody knows a lot about them was called the Milit Military Intelligence Service. and they were translators and interpreters.
And they actually went forward with the marines and the army soldiers. Uh into battle. They were at Iwo Jima, they were at Guam. Uh You know, they They fought in the jungles of the Pacific. And Uh They helped break the Japanese code.
The Imperial Code which led to our victory at at Midway. and turn the tide in in the Pacific.
