Hickam honors World War II vets with new C-17
Veterans from the 442nd Regimental Combat Team stand for the National Anthem during a C-17 Globemaster III arrival ceremony at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii, on Wednesday, June 14. The "Spirit of 'Go for Broke'" is named in honor of the 442nd RCT. Comprised of 3,800 Japanese Americans, the unit fought with distinction during World War II in North Africa and Europe, becoming one of the most highly decorated units in the history of the U.S. military.
