History of the Nisei ‘Go For Broke’ WWII unit removed from Army website The page's removal comes after President Trump's executive order ending what he called "radical" diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

The history of the glorious #442nd Regimental Combat Team has been erased from the Trump government’s website. But as long as I’m living, I pledge to keep the story of the courage and sacrifice of #Nisei veterans alive. #goforbroke #thethreeyearswimclub
