    It's hard to put one group of soldiers above another when it comes to WW II, but the Nisei were amazing. Along with the Tuskegee flyers, the Indian code talkers and the black tank units that fought under Patton, among others, they had to wage a brutal fight with their own side just to earn the right to risk life and limb for a country that treated them as second class citizens. Salute indeed.
