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.

    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.

We are grateful for the opportunities that were granted to us to express our personal feelings over the years. We thank you for your kind words of encouragement and for the cooperation extended to us. I regret that my "number I" wish and dream is still that-just a dream. ,Ten years ago I visualized in my dreams a clubhouse that would be occupied jointly by our sons and daughters and us veterans. The building would house meeting rooms, a large hall, kitchen, museum, and ample parking area. I would like to include the 442nd and MIS in this picture of oneness because someday all of us veterans will have passed on and our children and their children will be known only as that--offspring of veterans.
