Every year on the first Saturday in June since 1999, GFBNEC has held a community gathering in Little Tokyo to commemorate the Go For Broke Monument, a striking dedication to honor the more than 16,000 Japanese American men and women who bravely served during World War II.
This hallmark tribute event will be broadcast live this year in order to ensure the continued safety and health of veterans and the community. With new perspectives and voices, the program will highlight the remarkable stories of courage, patriotism and sacrifice of Japanese American soldiers of World War II and the relevance of their legacy to the issues of our nation faces today.
