About the Monument
After a decade-long effort led by a dedicated group of Japanese American WWII veterans, the Go For Broke Monument was presented to the City of Los Angeles on June 5, 1999. The Monument, situated in downtown Los Angeles’ historic Little Tokyo, remains a striking reminder of the courage, patriotism and sacrifice of the over 33,000 Japanese American men and women who served during WWI, and forever ensures their place in American history.
