This stamp includes their motto \u2018Go for Broke,\u2019 which became the basis for their teamwork and victories on the battlefield,\u201d Democratic state Rep. Nadine K. Nakamura told The Garden Island on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cGo For Broke: Japanese American Soldiers of World War II\u201d stamp honors the second generation Japanese Americans, or Nisei, who fought during the war and faced discrimination in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/off-duty\/military-culture\/2019\/12\/05\/us-postal-service-issues-healing-ptsd-stamp-to-raise-funds-for-veterans\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-12-04-at-6.29.06-PM.png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Postal Service issues \u2018Healing PTSD\u2019 stamp to raise funds for veterans<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The design is meant to elicit feelings of growth, healing, and hope.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stamp features Shiroku \u201cWhitey\u201d Yamamoto from the Big Island, a member of the combat team.

But it\u2019s more than a history lesson. It holds powerful lessons for this and future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heirakuji, whose father was also a member of the combat team, said this is the first U.S. Postal stamp to feature an Asian American solider and bring recognition to about 33,000 Japanese American soldiers who fought in the U.S. Army during the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also credited the effort to the Stamp Our Story campaign, which started in 2005 by three Japanese American women from California \u2014 Fusa Takahashi, Aiko O. King, and the late Chiz Ohira.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/off-duty\/2019\/02\/01\/our-nations-brave-and-loyal-military-working-dogs-honored-with-new-postage-stamps\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/181019-M-ON629-1014C.JPG.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Our nation\u2019s \u2018brave and loyal military working dogs\u2019 honored with new postage stamps<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The new red and blue &quot;forever&quot; stamps will feature a German shepherd, Labrador retriever, Belgian Malinois and Dutch shepherd.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USPS announced that the stamp is being issued as a forever stamp, which will always be equal in value to the current First Class mail one-ounce (28-gram) price.
