This is because many doubted the loyalty of the Japanese Americans for the Destruction of the Pearl Harbor. But the Japanese Americans fought in order to show just how much they loved their country and demonstrate that they were not mad because their families were locked away from true society. One major thing that the 442nd Regimental Combat team did was to go rescue a captured Battalion from the Texas Division. As many men were lost the team was able to save the texas division battalion in the end. Some units within the 442nd Regimental Combat team earned one of the highest medals, the Congressional Medal of Honor, or more simply known as The Medal of Honor

Men did not think women could handle flying airplanes and did not think women should be part of the war other than just as nurses. Yonally P. was honored with the Congressional Gold Medal, 65 years after her service, but was sad that fewer than 300 of her 1,100 fellow WASP were alive to receive it. Women finally took a role in the war after not being taken seriously and flew airplanes which is crazy specially because of the time period this happened in.

Tuskegee Airmen flew all over Europe including countries such as Italy and Germany. They played a role as pilots, navigators, bombardiers, maintenance and support staff.... The Tuskegee Airmen trained at the University of Tuskegee in Alabama, that is where they get their name from.
