  • Asian American and Pacific Islander Veterans Fact Sheet
    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

    Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month Walk Together Embrace Differences Build Legacies Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month Since 1977, the month of May has been designated to recognize the achievements and contributions to the American story by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs). We celebrate the cultural traditions, ancestry, native languages, and unique experiences represented among more than 56 ethnic groups (speaking over 100 languages) from Asia and the Pacific Islands who live in the United States. 2 Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month The month of May denotes several events in AAPI history, including the immigration of the first Japanese people to the United States May 7, 1843. The finalization of the transcontinental railroad was accomplished May 10, 1869 by predominantly 3 Chinese immigrants. Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month While these AAPI communities have roots that span the globe, their success stories are uniquely American. Generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have helped develop and defend the United States, often in the face of tremendous racial and cultural prejudice. 4 Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month This presentation provides snapshots that briefly cover the integral role played by the many AAPIs who helped shape and defend this nation. 5 Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month The Medal of Honor is the United States of America’s highest military honor, awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty. 6 Medal of Honor Medal of Honor Medal of Honor U.S. Army U.S. Air Force U.S. Navy Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month Presently, 33 Asian American Pacific Islanders have been awarded the Medal of Honor.
