A statue in Sumay Cemetery, Guam, is one of many effected by bombings during WWII. Because military shipping and communications centered around Sumay, it was one of the first areas to be bombed when the Japanese attacked on Dec. 8, 1941. The people of Sumay fled and scattered inland to their small ranches in the jungles. This site is all that remains of the pre-war prehistoric and historic village of Sumay.
