I only wish his time in DC would have been as admirable.
Was he a bad politician? What are some details on this?
He was a democrat which to most ppl on this board probably means he could not have done anything honorable while he was a member of the senate.
Daniel Inouye:
Medical volunteer during attack on Pearl Harbor
Volunteered to serve in a segregated unit in 1943
Medal of Honor recipient
Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient
President Pro-tempore of US Senate
Member of US Senate for 50 years
How many of us can match that resume?

How about you go look up information on Japanese American internment camps in the United States during WWII and get back to us.
