Beyond the Call of Duty: Honoring the 24 Japanese American
Medal of
Honor Recipients
Organized by the Japanese American National Museum, this display honored
the extraordinary war heroism of Japanese American recipients of the
prestigious Medal of Honor, our nation's highest and most rarely awarded
Armed Forces decoration. Until 2000, only four Japanese Americans received
this honor. That changed when
President Clinton presented upgrades to
twenty Japanese Americans after a review of their Armed Services records.
