I take it you have something to do with the 442nd, or you just love thier motto.

Trivia question. What was the most decorated unit in WWII?


Yes, it was the 442nd, "Go For Broke" it was an all Japanese-American unit.
It's all good.

Aww, man! You beat me to it.:)

LT, I know that the 100th/442nd is over in Iraq. Is that where you're posting from? Well, let me rephrase that. I'm pretty certain that the 442 Rgt is over there, but honestly when my friends tried to explain to me the patchwork of units that were deploying iso the 29th, I sort of lost track.

Another bit of trivia. Which is the only Infantry battalion in the Army Reserves? Yup, you've got it. 100th/442nd.

Which is the only unit to have an Oldsmobile muscle car named after it?;) j/k.:D

Has Ranger Sobersides contacted you yet?
