<p>Mr. Takata attended the annual Go for Broke annual dinner last Saturday.  It was a gala event and about 900 people attended.  The Go for Broke Educational Foundation promotes education and supports the Japanese American World War II veterans who fought in the US army in Europe.  The Japanese American 442 unit was one of the most decorate units in the history of the US army. The keynote speak was astronaut Daniel Tani.  He made 2 trips to outer space on the Space Shuttle.  On the second trip he stayed at the Space Lab for 120 days and took over 14,000 photos. He gave an inspiring speech to the crowd and talked about his 120 days in space and what it was like.  He also shared several photos taken from the Space Lab.  All in all, it was a grand event and raised funds for a worthy cause.</p>
