News summary

The U.S. military is honoring the Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team for their pivotal role in liberating parts of Italy and France during World War II, despite the internment of their families back home. Descendants of these Nisei soldiers traveled from various U.S. states to Italy to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Livorno. The 442nd, known for its motto 'Go For Broke,' became the most decorated unit in U.S. military history for its size and service duration, with 21 members awarded the Medal of Honor. The commemoration at Camp Darby included visits to significant battle sites and reflections on the soldiers' sacrifices and achievements. This event also highlighted the dichotomy of their heroism abroad and the racial injustice faced by their families in internment camps in the U.S.
