17-5-6 Garand Picture ofthe Day - Go for Broke
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

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.

Daniel Inouye was a l o n g time Hawaii Senator. They recently did a major road improvement from Pohakuloa Training Area to Kona on the Big Island which rightfully honors his name as a WWII MOH Vet.
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.
