 In 1944, during the Second Battle of Guam, America regained the island of Guam from Japanese control. Today, thousands of locals and visitors took to the streets to celebrate their liberation and the continued colorful culture of the Chamorro people and those who call this beautiful island home. For the first time, Third Marine Division, based out of Okinawa, Japan, joined in on the festivities. I'm proud of my Marines. I'm proud of the Marines who currently serve. And all those who went performing, you know, all we can do is ensure that we are walking the same path and we are carrying the history and traditions from which they are set for us. For the people of Guam, Duncaloon and Sejuice Mossy, and we look forward to coming back and celebrating Liberation Day here in Guam for years to come. I'm Petty Officer Amanda Kitchener, Naval Base, Guam.
