Honor Bound: A Personal Journey

During the Second World War, while America was fighting the Japanese, a unit of second-generation Japanese-Americans was fighting bravely on the European front. The 100/442nd Regiment suffered the highest casualty rates and became the most decorated unit in American history. Meanwhile, back at home, their families were in desolate internment camps, forced to leave their homes, farms, and businesses. This film, made by the daughter of one of the soldiers, tells their story through remembrances and archival footage. With pride, the veterans recall how they rescued the" Lost Battalion" of 211 Texans about to be annihilated by the enemy. Eight hundred soldiers were wounded or killed in this operation.
