The  high regard  and respect that other US soldiers held for the 442nd Regiment was related to
me by a 442nd Regiment veteran who  had jointed up with the unit as a replacement just prior to the end of the war.  He told me that wherever they went, they were received very warmly by other
US troops.  Yes, there was still a lot of prejudice but the sacrifice and bravery of the soldiers
of the 442nd Regiment had become legend as it remains to this day.
The late Senator Daniel Inouye who spent a long time in the hospital stateside after losing
his arm only a few days before the war's end related an incident when he went dressed in his
uniform  for a  haircut and was turned away as the barbershop had a posted sign stating,  No Dogs and No Japs.
