History of the Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit removed from Army website
As a Japanese person living in the U.S., I am eternally grateful to my ancestors who set foot in this country, worked tirelessly to earn recognition as citizens despite facing both individual and systemic discrimination, and bravely fought in the war to defend their adopted homeland and fellow Americans. Their sacrifices and perseverance paved the way for people like me to come here and live a good life.
To erase such a significant part of their history - their effort, sacrifice, and legacy - from the Army website is, in my opinion, an act of arrogance and a profound disrespect toward those who fought so hard to help "make America great."
