ONTARIO â For Flag Day on Monday, citizens in Ontario will join others around the state to celebrate a long-awaited moment: The release of a new first-class postage stamp that gives a nod to Japanese American veterans from World War II â specifically those who served on the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. The motto of the Nisei soldiers, âGo For Broke,â accompanies an embossed graphic of a soldier, based on a 1944 photograph.
A movement to get such a stamp made began 16 years ago when three Japanese American women, began the âStamp Our Storyâ campaign, according to a news release from the Oregon Nisei Veterans. The âGo For Brokeâ motto, according to the release, characterized the teamwork, spirit and courage of the soldiers who, as U.S. citizens with parents who were Japanese immigrants, were known as the Nisei.
