Best Answer

There were many individuals in the days of Kamehamea the Great who were warriors in support of the Kingdom of Hawaii

Another more modern group deserving that accolade would be the 442nd Regimental Combat Team whose service in the Second World War's European Theatre is deserving of the highest praise. Twenty-one members of the 4-4-2 were awarded the Medal of Honor for their services. Fifty-two Distinguished Service Crosses, 560 Silver Stars (plus 28 second awards), 4,000 Bronze Stars (plus 1,200 second awards) and 9,486 Purple Hearts marked it as the most decorated unit to see service in WWII.

Many of these young men did their service while their parents and siblings were interned as prisoners in camps scattered across the US. Their service did not end the historic bias against Japanese Americans across the Homeland but it certainly created a crack in that otherwise locked door of American prejudice.
