    Asian American and Pacific Islander Veterans Fact Sheet Department of Veterans Affairs- Center for Minority Veterans version 11/08/2013 Asian American and Pacific Islander Military and Veteran History Asian American and Pacific Islanders have been serving honorably in the United States Military, since the War of 1812. The First Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) to reach general officer rank was Brigadier General. Albert Lyman, who was Chinese and Hawaiian American, was the commanding general of the 32nd Army Division that fought in the Leyte campaigns in the Philippines in World War II. The highest ranked AAPI in the military was Eric Shinseki, who was a four – star general and the Army Chief of Staff. Medal of Honor The first Congressional Medal of Honor recipient was to US Army Private Jose Nisperos, from the Philippine Scouts Unit for this action on September 24, 1911. The one and only Medal of Honor awarded during peacetime on January 21, 1915 was to Second Class Telesforo Trinidad. Twenty-one of the twenty-four Medal of Honor recipients during WWII were Japanese-Americans serving with the 442nd Regimental Combat Team or the 100th Infantry Battalion. They are Barney Hajiro, Mikio Hasemoto, Joe Hayashi, Shizuya Hayashi, Daniel Inouye, Yeiki Kobashigawa, Robert Kuroda, Kaoru Moto, Sadao Munemori, Kiyoshi Muranaga, Masato Nakae, Shinyei Nakamine, William Nakamura, Joe Nishimoto, Allan Ohata, James Okubo, Yukio Okutsu, Frank Ono, Kazuo Otani, George Sakato, and Ted Tanouye.

  • List of Asian American Medal of Honor Recipients 1 List of Asian American Medal of Honor Recipients
    List of Asian American Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of Asian American Medal of Honor recipients The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] Of the 3,464 Medals of Honor awarded as of September 17, 2009,[2] 30 have been awarded to Asian American recipients. The first Asian American to receive the Medal was José B. Nísperos, who received it for his actions in the Philippine–American War.[3] In 1996, a study determined that Asian Americans were discriminated against in the awarding of medals during World War II; consequently, 22 had their medals upgraded to the Medal of Honor.[4] Except for those awarded during the 1996 discrimination study the most recent Asian American recipient of the Medal of Honor was Rodney Yano, who received it for his actions during the Vietnam War.[5] Philippine–American War and peacetime The Philippine–American War[6] was an armed military conflict between the United States and the First Philippine Republic, fought between 1899 and least 1902, which arose from a Filipino political struggle against U.S. occupation of the Philippines. Although the conflict was officially declared over on July 4, 1902,[7] [8] [9] American troops continued hostilities

  • A Loyola Rome Student's Guide to World War Ii in Rome
    A LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY By Philip R. O’Connor, Ph.D. Loyola University Rome Center 1968-69 DOWNLOADABLE VERSION AVAILABLE PLEASE DIRECT COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS TO [email protected] Tenth Edition – September 2015 LOYOLA ROME STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WORLD WAR II IN ROME & ITALY DEDICATION & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This Guide to World War II in Italy and Rome is dedicated to those who served the Allied cause in the Italian War of Liberation 1943-45. Of special remembrance are the five Loyolans who, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, “gave the last full measure of devotion” on Italian soil: John J. Burke, John L. Carmody, Kenneth E. Krucks, Thomas A. McKitrick and Dean P. Reinert. John Felice, founder and guiding light of the Loyola Rome Center for thirty years and whose name was given to the Campus in 2004, was an intelligence officer in the British Eighth Army seconded to the American 12 th Air Force, 47 th Bombardment Group (Light) in preparation for the invasions of Sicily and the Italian mainland. John, who first inspired this Guide, passed away in January 2008, having lived the life of a great man. Another who served was the author’s uncle, Edward O’Connor. He followed his older brother, the author’s father, Philip J., into the U.S. Navy. Philip served in the South Pacific while Ed crewed in a 5-inch gun aboard the light cruiser USS Philadelphia . Before his nineteenth birthday, Eddie O’Connor participated in the invasion of Sicily, the landing at Salerno, the sbarco at Anzio-Nettuno followed by four months of daily missions from Naples to shell German forces besieging the beachhead, and the invasion of Southern France.
