Even worse, Mr. Miyagi received that reward despite the country essentially turning on him. He joined the service from a Japanese American Internment Camp, this same service was conducted while the country failed to provide medical care for his spouse and unborn child leading to their deaths. His sacrifice was not just more than others that served along side him gave, but frankly, as someone who was stripped of his rights, property, and family, it was completely beyond any reasonable expectation and right to ask of him, but he chose to anyways. While Mr. Miyagi is a fictional character, his story is not, and his experiences are not. Roughly 6,000 Japanese Americans who faced internment camps still served in the U.S. military during WWII. Pat Morita, the actor that plays Mr. Miyagi while never serving, mostly due to the fact that he was a young boy of 11-15 during this period more so than unwilling, did face multiple years in two different internment camps along with his family also. The entire situation in real life and in the show are truly heartbreaking and sad. As a veteran myself, I do feel the same way, such an act could not be seen any other way other than sacrilege frankly.

Ah, the episode that took Hawk off my like list and made him Karate Enemy #1. The sequence at the mall is obviously the main attraction here, but the quieter scenes fleshed out feelings of all kinds and started two (sorta, maybe) possible relationships. Exciting stuff. I still have Tory as my top favorite female, even though she can be haughty and, at times, conniving when it suits her. The attack on the Miyagi-Do dojo was bad enough, but Hawk stealing Mr. Miyagi's Medal of Honor is unforgivable. It is the United States' highest award for military valor in action. From 1861 to the present day, only 3,535 have been awarded, with 19 double recipients. I say this for those that aren't aware of what the medal means to us Americans. My grandfather served as a B-17 navigator/bombardier during WWII and my uncle/godfather served in the Navy during Vietnam. Neither received a Medal of Honor, but they did get several medals and ribbons; my grandfather received two Purple Hearts. My point in this rant is that coming from a family that has veterans throughout our history, dishonoring them is not only sacrilegious to me, it is a mortal sin. Phew. Thanks once again for the great reaction and the kind shoutout Dak! Here's your chicken! 🐔

Really good episode Carmen and moon really are fantastic secondary characters love them both . Enjoyed the Tory and Miguel Wayne's world moment with the plane 🙂 if I know I know . Hawk really did go too far lashing out without connecting his brain first 🤦 I do feel bad for the guys in the mall that had their stands trashed and at the same time for Daniel when he saw the graffiti on her s car that was too much hawk too much 😡 . Cheers as always dak for the wonderful reaction oh and I still love Tory the best 😀
