Out and About Guam

[Mike_L]

Took a little diversion today to a few of my favorite places. Asan Bay is where the USA landed in July '44, directly below Asan Heights, which was a Japanese stronghold. The Japanese Army executed an unsuccessful banzai charge down the hill to Asan Bay the next morning. 1500 + of our troops made the ultimate sacrifice in liberating the island. Lest we forget.

Great pictures. I’ve been to Guam twice, most recently in 2016. Fabulous island with a lot of history.

Thanks very much. So much history not only on Guam but the entire region. I've really upped my reading game in the past year.

This is my second time on island. I lived here '12-'16, returned to 'Vegas until last year and just passed my first anniversary back on island. Having a blast. I'm appreciating Guam and the whole Pacific region in general more so than last time. Particularly the WWII history. I'm waiting for the quarantines to lift so I can explore Saipan and Tinian, which are only a stones throw away.
