ASAN, Guam (July 16, 2025) — Military leaders, service members, and community members gather at Asan Ma’ina for a remembrance ceremony honoring those who fought for Guam’s liberation and the CHamoru people who endured the Japanese occupation during World War II. The ceremony reflects on the events of July 1944, when U.S. forces came ashore in the Asan area under fire, marking a critical turning point that led to Guam’s liberation after nearly three years of occupation. The observance serves as a tribute to the strength, sacrifice, and resilience of all who contributed to Guam’s return to freedom, and as a reminder that liberty was secured through courage, commitment, and an unwavering sense of duty.
