The University of Nebraska was among the first to welcome them. It eventually enrolled more Nisei students than all but two other institutions. The author asserts that this controversial acceptance resulted from humanitarian decisions made by a few individuals in Lincoln.

  • World War II
    No. 21 World War II WORLD WAR II On Sunday, December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, a United States military base in Hawaii, was attacked by Japanese air forces. This surprise attack led to the United States' involvement in World War II. There was already a war going on in Europe. Germany was invading many countries in an attempt to take over as much of the world as it could. Italy and Japan had similar goals. Together with Germany they became known as the Axis powers. The United States, Great Britain, China, and the Soviet Union, who wanted to stop these invading forces, were known as the Allied powers or Allies. World War II had a great impact on the State of Nebraska and her citizens. 2865 U59-2 Many Nebraskans decided to join the military in order to help their country fight the Axis forces. Nebraska sent 139,745 men and women to war. They served in every branch of the service–army, navy, coast guard, marines and army air corps. 3,839 lost their lives. Among the first Nebraskans to go to war were members of the Nebraska National Guard. This group was named the 134th Infantry Regiment, part of the Thirty-fifth Division, United States Army. Under the command of North Platte native Butler B. Miltonberger, the 134th fought across Europe. 2865 M662-17 Women serving in the military was a new idea during World War II. Nearly 2,000 Nebraska women joined the service. Helen Sagl of Lincoln was one of the first Nebraska women to enlist in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps.

Forty-five years ago, our freedom was on the line. On the front line. And on the production line. Because in Europe and the Pacific, America's fighting forces needed a new, longer-range heavy bomber. And on our assembly lines in Ft. Worth and San Diego, and on others across the country, America's working forces responded. At peak production in Ft. Worth, more than 30,000 workers, toiling around the clock, were building a new B-24 every four hours. Now we are helping to build one more. By making a grant to help 'restore one of our original B-24s to its original condition. Soon a B-24 Liberator, which first flew in the Pacific, will fly again, this time in air shows around the USA.
