History for the day

Rico says that, since he woke up (thanks to his cats) at the eponymous hour of 4.42, an homage to the famed 442 Regimental Combat Team:

The 442nd Regimental Combat Team was an infantry regiment in the United States Army comprised of Americans of Japanese ancestry. The unit fought in Italy and France during World War Two against the German army. The 442nd earned a reputation as a crack infantry unit, and the regiment and its men received numerous battle honors and individual medals for valor.
