The answer your looking for is the 442nd Infantry Regiment, It was a Regiment mostly of Japanese men and They have been Considered the best regiment in all the European campaign having 21 medal of honor recipients out of the small 3800

Not True, I don't have a number for you, It is very hard to find information like that but many Japanese served at least before the Untied States entered the war. As for other minorities, almost half of our military battles were fought by minorities.

Most Japanese Americans who served during WW2 enlisted or were drafted into the US Army and served as soldiers in one of three all Nisei units:

  • 100th Infantry Battalion
  • 442nd Regimental Combat Team
  • 522nd Field Artillery Battalion

Some Japanese served in other branches, many as translators in communications units. Most if not all served quite honorably.
