Merrill's Marauders - The Marauders Samurai __ "These 15 men volunteered to serve their country in the Military Intelligence Service even though some where forced from their homes and livelihoods, and moved to remote internment camps. Yet once in the service of the Military Intelligence Service, all 15 volunteered a second time for a "Dangerous And Hazardous Mission", and became members of the 5307th Composite Unit Provisional, better known as "Merrill's Marauders". These heroes, along with the Marauders, were in constant combat deep behind enemy lines in the Jungles and mountains of Burma. One can only imagine what would have happened to them if captured by the Japanese. Doubling as interpreters while with the Marauders they were involved in many acts of heroism. In the face of danger they acted with total disregard for their own safety, using their knowledge of the enemy and the Japanese language, they saved countless lives of their brother Marauders." Read the whole story. - illustrated - From marauder.org - http://www.marauder.org/nisei01.htm
