On this episode of Our American Stories, Major General “Mook” Mukoyama volunteered and served in both Korea and Vietnam, building a long career in the U.S. Army during some of the most defining conflicts in American military history. In 1986, he became the youngest general in the Army at the time, and soon after was promoted to Major General, where he went on to command the 70th Training Division during Desert Storm. After retiring from military service, Mukoyama turned his focus to working with American veterans, dedicating his time to understanding and addressing the lasting impact of combat.
