Go For Broke Monument, Memorial monument in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, United States.
The black granite monument displays the names of 16,131 Japanese American soldiers who served in specialized military units during World War II.
The monument was inaugurated in 1999 after a decade-long campaign by Japanese American World War II veterans to honor their fellow soldiers.
The monument recognizes the military service of Japanese Americans who fought for the United States while their families faced discrimination and internment.
Located at 160 North Central Avenue, this free public memorial includes a database for visitors to search names engraved on the granite walls.
The circular design features a sloped wall that represents the challenges Japanese American soldiers faced in demonstrating their loyalty to the United States.
