Why I love a country that once betrayed me- George Takei

This is from a few years ago but thought it was relevant given recent events.

2. Senator Inouye was in the 442nd and received the Bronze Star

He was a real war hero and a great Senator as you can see on his Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Inouye

And to remind us that it's not always Red vs. Blue - an excerpt from the Wikipedia article:


While recovering at Percy Jones Army Hospital from war wounds and the amputation of his right forearm following the grenade wound, Inouye met future Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, then a fellow patient. While at the same hospital, Inouye also met future fellow Democrat and Senator Philip Hart, who had been injured on D-Day. Dole mentioned to Inouye that after the war, he planned to go to Congress; Inouye beat him there by a few years. The two remained lifelong friends. In 2003, the hospital was renamed the Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center in honor of the three World War II veterans.[16]
