LOGLINE
During WWII, the 100th Infantry Battalion – Japanese American soldiers from Hawaiʻi – fought heroically in Europe despite being distrusted by their own country, earning the name “The Purple Heart Battalion.”
After devastating losses, they joined the 442nd RCT, together becoming the most decorated unit in U.S. military history.
This isn’t just a tale of war – it’s a testament to 80 years of honor, resilience, and service beyond the battlefield.
