Stamp Our Story

Every stamp has a story. The resilience and determination of Japanese American World War II soldiers, who were asked to fight for their country despite having their freedom unjustly taken away, embody the best of the American spirit. While remembering their achievements and struggles, three elderly Nisei (second-generation) women share how they led a successful 15-year campaign to issue the Go For Broke: Japanese American Soldiers of WWII Forever stamp.
