Untitled[edit]

If anyone wanders by here it would seem that a good starting point for expansion would be how Munemori, note- Japanese used to have the family name first and personal name second whether this is the case here I don't know, got to Manzanar, his early life, parents, and especially how he made it from manzanar to death in a shell crater in italy Eoag (talk) 18:55, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nisei[edit]

There seems to be a question about this link -- "Army Secretary Lionizes 22 World War II Heroes" at Defense.gov? --Ansei (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the article is not mentioned in the external link that I had removed, that was reverted by another user. Therefore, the external link falls under WP:ELNO. This is due to the fact that the subject of this article was posthumously awarded the MoH before the late 20th century review of Distinguished Service Crosses which lead to the elevation of 22 medals to MoHs which is the primary subject of the external link above.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:20, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for helping me to see this from a different perspective. Please give some thought to the change here. --Ansei (talk) 02:25, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is perfectly fine. The subject of this article is one of only two Asian Americans to be the recipient of the Medal of Honor during (or immediately after) World War II. The other was then-Sergeant Jose Calugas; I cover this in the article about Military history of Asian Americans.

Keep up the good work. Perhaps you can get assistance from User:Kumioko, who worked on elevating the Calugas article up to Good Article status.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:31, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, come to think about it, I would keep the formatted reference from MilitaryTimes and use the Defense.gov reference along with others to expand the Soldier section; the reference as well as others could expand content on the 442d Infantry Regiment, including the re-evaluation of the awarding process.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:49, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see cite moved from 1st paragraph into soldier section here. --Ansei (talk) 17:23, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Order of family name and personal name[edit]

Please don't consider this "original research" but Japanese-Americans living in the United States conform to the American/Western usage of given name first and family name/surname last. In Japan he would have been Munemori Sadao. In the United States he was Sadao Munemori. 66.162.249.170 (talk) 02:53, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
