Go for Broke!


The motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team was “go for broke.” It’s a gambling term that means risking everything on one great effort to win big. The soldiers of the 442nd needed to win big. They were Nisei - American-born sons of Japanese immigrants. They fought two wars: the Germans in Europe and the prejudice in America.

    1. I would say yes and no because I would risk my life to save others but yet they discriminated me and others. So I think it would be a yes and no thing.

    2. They had to keep on going onto the battlefield because if they stop moving the people behind them will stop moving and then they would get lost. They didn't stop at all they kept on going until they had died. So they never gave up on stopping, they just kept on moving forward.

    3. Yes. The people that lived during the 442nd they all had a big walk with the other soldiers while the other people that did not go to war they clapped for the soldiers for their service.

    4. Yes they were.
