The inspiring story of a group of University of Hawai\u02bbi<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a> ROTC<\/abbr> students who formed the core of the most decorated combat unit in U.S. military history is headed to the big screen. Go For Broke<\/em><\/a> is the origin story of the U.S. Army 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the famed all-Japanese American fighting unit in World War II<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

The movie begins with the 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M\u0101noa ROTC<\/abbr> students of Japanese descent forming the Varsity Victory Volunteers after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. They offered to serve after the government classified them as enemy aliens and performed menial tasks for the military until the 442nd was formed.<\/p>\n
