Go For Broke National Education Center’s “Heroes Among Us” series honors Japanese American and Black veterans of World War II. As our nation currently finds itself struggling with a crisis of conscience, we acknowledge that despite the promise of America, not all people have been embraced by America’s value of equality.
In recognition and support of all of our veterans, Go For Broke National Education Center will be sharing lesser-known veterans’ stories of World War II. Stories of their courage, patriotism, and sacrifice. Despite the great discrimination they faced, they upheld America’s promise and provide us today with a sense of moral direction.
