Go For Broke!
It's a bit strange, but I woke up today at 4:42 and thought of "Go for Broke" and Daniel Inouye. Medal of Honor recipient in 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and senator.
Died December 17, 2012 at 88.
I watched an expose' on him not long ago.Quote:

My childhood friend's father was in the 442nd. He never talked about his experience, at least, to us kids. In his house we like to look at some photos of his 442nd buddies. When we played "Army" as kids we sometimes fought the Kruts and sometime the Japs. We never associated the idea that he was of Japanese ancestry. We were Americans fighting the bad guys. My dad served in China, 14 AF, and received a Silver Star and a Purple Heart. We were friends and neighbors.
