The 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the United States Army was a regimental size fighting unit composed almost entirely of American soldiers of Japanese ancestry who fought in World War II, despite the fact that many of their families were subject to internment. Beginning in 1944, the regiment fought primarily in Europe during World War II, in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany. The 442nd is "the most decorated unit in U.S. military history." It was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations and twenty-one of its members were awarded the Medal of Honor for World War II.

There was one Japanese-American Senator from Hawaii that was part of the 442nd, the late 井上 建 (Daniel Inouye):
