Hiroshi Miyamura: American Hero - VAntage Point

VAntage Point Hiroshi Miyamura: American Hero Army Veteran Hiroshi Miyamura is the second Japanese American to receive the Medal of Honor. His award was classified by the Army for 28 months while Miyamura was held by North Korean forces as a prisoner of war during the Korean War. When the United States entered World War II, Hiroshi “Hershey” Miyamura was eager to join the military, but he was denied, following Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Born in Gallup, New Mexico, to Japanese immigrants, Miyamura was deemed ineligible to serve and given a 4C “enemy alien” status because of his ancestry. It was only in 1945 that the exclusionary policy placed on Japanese Americans was lifted. Immediately, Miyamura volunteered for the 442nd Infantry Regiment, which was composed entirely of second-generation Japanese Americans. However, five days before he was due to arrive in Italy, the war ended.
