He lost his right arm in a firefight with Germans in Italy in 1945, and would win the Distinguished Service Cross--and belatedly, the Medal of Honor--for his war service. Elected to the House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1959, the year Hawaii became a state, Inouye entered the Senate in 1963.
