John Wayne Found A 442nd Veteran At His Father's Farm In California 1957 — Then He Bought It Back
In June 1957, Kenji Mori — a decorated veteran of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team — stood at the fence of a strawberry farm his father had built from bare ground in 1919. His family had farmed it for 22 years. Then Executive Order 9066 came. They had five days to leave. They sold the farm for $800. It was worth twelve times that. Kenji came home from France with the Distinguished Service Cross and a Purple Heart. The government paid him $410 for everything his family had lost. Then one afternoon on Highway 99, a man in a tan Stetson pulled over and asked why he was standing at that fence. This is what happened next. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 Subscribe for more untold John Wayne stories — new videos every week. #JohnWayne #442ndRegiment #WWII #JapaneseAmerican #TrueStor #Veterans #CaliforniaHistory #Inspirational #GoForBroke #UntoldHistory #WorldWarII #NiseiSoldiers #Manzanar #JohnWayneLegacy #VeteranStories
