American grit will amaze, anger, and inspire you as we expose a dark chapter of American history that is not taught in schools. You will discover how ordinary people did extraordinary things to make our world better for generations to come, and the power and grit we all possess to refuse victimhood and become a champion of your own life.

American Grit is the true story of everyday American men, women and children who were incarcerated in American concentration camps solely for their Japanese ancestry. Refusing to be victims of the U.

S. government, they found the courage and perseverance to defend the very country that so unjustly betrayed their human and civil rights, and went on to become among the most decorated American soldiers in U.

S. history.

American Grit offers an inside perspective of the concentration camps of America and historic heroism of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team by giving readers a glimpse into the Japanese American experience during World War II. It is an unforgettable story of self-empowerment in overcoming racism, hardship, and governmental oppression to fight for what is right, and a timely reminder of how fragile our trust in others who don't look like ourselves can be so this chapter of our history never happens again.
