Go for broke

Soldiers Magazine, March, 2004 by Grant Porter

HEIKE Hasenauer did an excellent job on the November article "Go for Broke" honoring Japanese-American veterans. By the way, the 100th Battalion, 442nd Regiment, is still going strong with the Army Reserve under the 9th Regional Support Command at Fort Shafter, Hawaii.

As the Equal Opportunity Program manager for the 9th RSC, I see the history of Japanese-American Soldiers in World War II as one of the greatest stories ever told about overcoming discrimination and adversity.

Thank you for bringing the accomplishments of these great veterans to the attention of all your readers.
