Beginning is over-exposed Heroes Come Home Returning home after three years of war service. 442nd combat receives a huge welcome. The veteran unit is made up Japanese Americans. Many of the unit received 3600 Purple Hearts + 2000 other decorations. This was the hard-hitting unit that rescued the Lost Battalion. Three women waving to ship, "Go For Broke" banner on ship. Family members waiting on dock, middle-aged asian woman wiping tears (crying), young woman wiping tears from her eyes with gloved hands, young woman waving excitedly to loved one. Hula dancers dancing, then placing flower lays around necks of soldiers. Cameramen with large cameras. Sailors marching past camera.
