Active duty; led January 2026 commissioning ceremony
In December 1941, seven University of Hawaii students were weeks away from becoming Army officers.

They volunteered anyway, joined the most decorated unit in American military history, and died fighting Nazis in Europe. Eighty years later, the Army finally granted them the rank they would have earned—if not for wartime discrimination against Japanese Americans.
