Daniel Inouye
U.S. Army
Served 1943-1947.
Inouye's remarkable act of courage resulted in being awarded the Medal of Honor. This can be partly explained by the words his Japanese immigrant father told him before deploying, "This country has been good to us. Whatever you do, do not dishonor this country – and if you must die, die with honor."
Each war hero offers a unique perspective on the role they played in defending our nation.
