Aloha,
Go For Broke! A legendary battle cry from World War II and soon to be on our automobile's license plate. The Go For Broke Association (GFBA) Board of Directors (Board) is spearheading an effort to preserve the legacy of the famed 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team (442 RCT) through the purchase of specialty license plates.
Before the application to the City and County of Honolulu's Division of Motor Vehicles, Licensing and Permits (DMVLP) is submitted, the Board requires commitments to purchase a minimum specialty license plate of 150 through the Association's members, Family and Friends who reside in Hawai'i (ONLY). A two-year commitment the cost to purchase the license plates is $35.50, and renewal fee of $25.00.
This program also serves as a fundraiser. With each purchase, $20.00 of the cost is donated to the Go For Broke Association. All transactions are made directly to the Honolulu DMVLP. Upon purchase, the old license plates need to be turned in and accompanied by a current Certificate of Registration. Unlike vanity plates, drivers are not permitted to select letters and numbers for each plate.

Born of a French bugle call, the melody we know as “Taps” was rearranged and used during the Civil War as a call for lights out. In the late 1800s, the Army formally adopted the tune for use at military funerals and memorial services.
