442nd Regimental Combat Team of Nisei
Definition
- As the United States turned to war in 1941 in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, many Caucasian Americans, especially along the U.S. West Coast and in the Hawaiian Islands, questioned the loyalty of Japanese Americans. When the draft calls increased, the Selective Service System classified Japanese American males as 4C, or non-draftable as enemy aliens.
