They pitched in with other locals to aid the wounded, sort through the rubble, give blood, and bury the dead. When Pearl Harbor was attacked, the Nisei, like everyone else on the islands, responded to the emergency. The Japanese represented the largest ethnic group in the small island community of Hawaii. As Nisei, or second-generation Japanese Americans, and American-born sons of Japanese immigrants during World War II, they needed to put everything on the line to 'win big.' For these Nisei, they were fighting to win two wars: the war against the Germans in Europe and the war against racial prejudice in America. It was an apt motto for the soldiers of the 442nd. 1 The player would put everything on the line. The motto was derived from a gambler's slang used in Hawaii to 'go for broke,' which meant that the player was risking it all in one effort to win big. 'Go For Broke' was the motto of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an Army unit comprised of Japanese Americans from Hawaii and the mainland United States.
