September 6, 1944) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration?the Medal of Honor?for his actions in World War II.Tanouye was interned with his family at the Rohwer War Relocation Center in Arkansas. On July 7, 1944, Tanouye was serving as a technical sergeant in Company K of the all-Japanese American 442nd Regimental Combat Team. During a battle on that day, near Molino a Ventoabbto, Italy, he repeatedly advanced forward of his unit to attack the German forces alone, despite intense return fire. Although severely wounded, he continued to fight until his platoon had succeeded in taking their objective, the crest of a hill. He died of his wounds two months later and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Los Angeles, California.
