The war of resistance against Japan from 1937 to 1945 is the one of Chinese national liberation wars for resisting foreign invasion for more than a hundred years that has won a complete victory the first time in the history. The overseas Chinese abroad, along with the Chinese people at home, made immortal contributions to this victory. This article presents the monumental contributions of the American overseas Chinese (mainly in USA) during that period in the following six aspects, the setting up of organizations to promote Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Movement; the financial support for the resistance war; the sending of young people home to join in the resistance war; the sponsorship of 'Non-provision Movement' ; the participation of the overseas Chinese in the Anti-Japanese war service in their residential countries; giving full support to the National United Front for Resisting Japanese Invasion based on the cooperation between Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party; and hence eulogizes the sublime patriotism of the overseas Chinese.
