TODAY IN HISTORY : AMERICANS LAND ON GUAM 1944


Perhaps the most life-changing event in recent Guam history.  Because of the American re-capture of Guam, our island would never be the same in the most dramatic ways.

As far as our mañaina were concerned, July 21 was the beginning of salvation.  Tears would well up in my mañaina's eyes when they talked about seeing American soldiers for the first time since the war began.
