Most Honorable Son

In the early part of the last century Shosuke and Nara Kuroki migrated from Japan to the United States. They purchased a farm in Nebraska and gave birth to their children. Their children will grow up to be American children as they were raised in the great American melting pot, a time before political correctness.

When the United States entered World War Two, Mr. Kuroki told his oldest two sons, one of whom is Ben Kuroki (also Fred Kuroki), that if they wanted to join the military to fight for their nation, they should do so.

His two oldest sons joined the U.S. military. Ben Kuroki made his way to the U.S. Army Air Corps as a gunner on flying fortresses (B24 and B29). At first he was ridiculed for his Japanese ancestry, later to be nicknamed "most honorable son."

Ben Kuroki flew the required 25 missions and could have not flown in combat for the rest of the war. However Mr. Kuroki volunteered for further combat missions. He was transferred to the Pacific Theater of the war. He was the only American of Japanese ancestry to serve in combat in the United States Army Air Forces in the Pacific theater of World War II.

Mr. Kuroki was fortunate to be educated in the USA when the American melting pot was taught. Now children are taught diversity, political correctness, where their loyalty and identity is when their heritage first, and perhaps somewhere down the road to the USA. This is the left in the USA way of attempting to Balkanize the USA. Like the title of Doctor Michael Savage's book reads, "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder."

Mr. Kuroki was quoted as saying:

"I had to fight like hell for the right to fight for my own country."

God bless Mr. Ben Kuroki!

I love stories like this. Race is taken into consideration way to frequently, stereotypes and such. It is also very surprising they were let into the army at all which make it even more amazing. The America of today needs to produce more tales like this one; the only people I hear about with any pride today are country boy southerners.

I have never forgotten what I saw on a PBS station when I was young; it changed forever how I see people. It was a short little clip with an American of Japanese decent. The point of it was that this young man was 5th generation American, and yet when he was growing up he was always made to feel different than other Americans, white Americans. He spoke zero Japanese and of course had no other country than this one.

Since then I never judge anyone in this country by their skin color etc.

I love this video, so true Tony, we are many but we are one American.

Very great video. My grandma and my great grand parents where in the internment camp in Jerome Arkansas.

This is an awesome video! I share the same view as you and Ben Kuroki did as well about America doing best as a melting pot. My family is from the Philippines, and my brother and uncle proudly joined and served in the US Army too.

People with Japanese ancestry wasn't loyal to Korea or China in Asia at the time of Japanese invasion.  They turned against their country and submitted loyalty to Japan. They spied for Japan as well as carryingout military missions.

@PropagandaBuster2 Good story! I'm a history fan, and I love stories like that.

@Brantoc I have never seen that, would be interesting if it happened.

[Brantoc]

@usframe same? no. I guess you never ate fondue. Each bite is different. One will be a little sharper than the first, or milder, the flavors mix, and make the whole dish better. Not all the same, but all better together than separate.

America at it's best is all Americans together. We can put a man on the moon, defeat the greatest military in the world, or solve any problem. Divided we fail. This is what the social engineers want, us divided.

more like a stew, I like the individual parts as well as the whole.
