Go For Broke Holds 16th Annual 'Evening of Aloha' Gala
|
|
|
This past Saturday evening I had the opportunity to attend the 16
th
annual “Evening of Aloha” gala dinner at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. As a guest of Jennifer Olvera, Green Hills Memorial Park, I learned so much about the Go for Broke National Education Center and the Nigei veterans of World War II who demonstrated undeniable courage in upholding America’s promise – the promise that all individuals are to be treated equally.
The Japanese American Soldiers of WWII proved their loyalty through the sacrifices they made in service to their country, the United States. For its size and length of service, the 100
th
Infantry Battalion and the 442
nd
Regimental Combat Team was the most decorated US military unit. The evening was filled with celebration and recognition of George Takei and Bill Seki for their numerous contributions.
