Date with History: Go for Broke

This presentation will outline the formation, training, and combat experiences of the Varsity Victory Volunteers, 100th Infantry Battalion, and 442nd Regimental Combat Team during World War II. These units, comprised of Japanese Americans served with the utmost distinction during World War II, and would be credited as the most highly decorated unit of their size and length of service in the history of the United States Armed Forces. Presented by Mr. Neil Yamamoto, a descendant of the 442nd, this presentation will reveal that Japanese American soldiers in World War II had “but one loyalty…to the United States.”
