[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3108091, member: 7900"] Not to take away from the achievements of the Hill 488 contingent, but during WWII, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was recognized as the largest winner of awards based on the size of the unit. That one included 21 MOH's, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses (19 of which were upgraded to MOH's in 2000), 1 Distinguished Service Medal, 560 Silver Stars (plus 28 Oak Leaf Clusters), 22 Legion of Merit medals, 15 Soldier's Medals, 4000 Bronze Stars (plus 1,200 Oak Leaf Clusters for a second award; one Bronze Star was upgraded to a Medal of Honor in June 2000. One Bronze Star was upgraded to a Silver Star in September 2009), and 9,486 Purple Hearts. The 442nd was made up of Japanese-American soldiers. The Unit was also the recipient of 8 Presidential Unit Citations. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/442nd_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States)']442nd Infantry Regiment[/URL] [/QUOTE]
