By war's end, over 13,000 were serving in all branches of the Army Ground Forces and Army Air Forces. About one quarter of all Chinese-American soldiers served with the Army Air Forces. In 1943 the Army Air Forces organized some support units for the China-Burma-India theater, including the 14th Air Service Group, composed predominantly of Chinese-American personnel. Other Chinese-Americans trained as pilots and aircrew and fought in Europe and the Pacific. However, most were assigned to regular ground units. An estimated 40 percent of Chinese-American soldiers were not native-born citizens. After Congress repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943, many took advantage of their military service to become naturalized. One Chinese-American received the Distinguished Service Cross, Capt. Francis B. Wai. He was born in Hawaii, where his father was Chinese and his mother Native Hawaiian. After graduating from the Punahou School in Honolulu and the University of California at Los Angeles, Wai enlisted in the Hawaii National Guard and was called to active duty in 1940. He earned his commission through officers candidate school in 1941 and was assigned to the 34th Infantry, part of the 24th Infantry Division. On October 20, 1944, his unit landed at Leyte in the Philippines. He was killed in action while leading soldiers off the beach against accurate and concentrated enemy fire. During the height of World War II, U.S. sailor Austin Wah helped sweep for naval mines on a converted destroyer in the waters off Okinawa, an island group that belongs to Japan. It was dangerous work. Once, Wah, now 94, sounded the alarm as a kamikaze pilot tried to kill him and his shipmates by directing his plane into their boat. Fortunately, the wing clipped the water first, flipping his aircraft into the sea. "If that had hit our ship, I wouldn't be here," Wah, who lives in a retirement community in Maryland, told NBC Asian America. Wah is among the more than 18,000 Chinese Americans who served in World War II when the Chinese Exclusion Act still prohibited most Chinese immigrants from becoming naturalized citizens. IMAGE: Austin WahAustin Wah, pictured in 2019, is among the more than 18,000 Chinese American World War II veterans who were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.Wah family photo In 2018, they were collectively honored with a Congressional Gold Medal, joining other World War II vets like the Japanese American Nisei soldiers and Filipino and Filipino Americans who have already had their contributions recognized with the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the nation's highest civilian honors. But Chinese Americans who served in World War II and their family members will have to wait a little longer for the medal to be formally unveiled. An award ceremony at the U.S. Capitol originally planned for late April has been postponed A spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office said organizers hope to reschedule the event for later this year. Ed Gor, national director of the Chinese American WWII Veterans Recognition Project, said the fewer than 300 service members still alive today are eager to see the medal presented. "Most of them came back to become professionals, businessmen, getting married, starting families, just contributing — I'd call it almost silently — into the fabric of the United States of America," Gor said. "These guys had never been acknowledged for their service." Wah, who was born and raised in Baltimore, was 18 when he got his draft letter in 1943. Wah, one of eight children, was placed in the Navy because of a manpower shortage, he said. His brother ended up in the Army Air Forces.

Later, he was sent to Treasure Island, near San Francisco, for advanced welding. Wah said that while he was the only Chinese American in his group of mostly older men, he didn't experience discrimination like others had. "They treated me like a younger brother," Wah said. Wah's mettle was put to the test on the line of battle in the Pacific. In addition to surviving a kamikaze attack, he cheated death once more when his ship got caught in a powerful typhoon just three days after the Battle of Okinawa. "One minute you're way down, you see water all around you," Wah recalled. "Next thing, you're way up top, you look down, and the water is all below. And then you see a lot of people floating by, because there's no way you could rescue them." After the war ended, Wah rode his ship back to the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York, where it was decommissioned. He never forgot the feeling he had when they passed by the Statue of Liberty. "It makes you proud that you did something," Wah said. "It hits you just like that." Related NEWS New docuseries unpacks more than 150 years of Asian American history Unlike Wah, Robert M. Lee began his journey into the U.S. armed services in China, where he was born. Lee said his family had papers allowing them to immigrate to the U.S., thanks to his mother's relatives who had lived in the U.S. around the time of the Gold Rush. But Japan's attack on China in 1937 stalled their plans, forcing the family to flee to the city of Kunming. Unable to find work or go to school, Lee visited a nearby U.S. air base to see whether he could enlist. He was around 14 at the time, and no one asked to see his birth certificate, even though he had one.

Lee enlisted as a private into the 14th Air Force of the U.S. Army Air Corps, formerly known as the Flying Tigers. The small company of air fighters had a reputation for their derring-do and ability to outmatch Japan’s much larger air force. Lee ended up with the Army Corps of Engineers. In 1945, he was transferred to work on Ledo Road, later renamed Stilwell Road, a strategic military route that ran from northeastern India through Myanmar to China. After his Army discharge following the war, Lee remained in India for seven years, helping to build hydroelectric dams. He also later joined the U.S. Foreign Service. Lee said it was only a couple of years ago that he learned of efforts to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Chinese American World War II vets. "I was elated on my behalf, of course, but very disappointed that it was so late that many people would not live long enough to receive it," he said.
