Happy 75th Liberation Day!


This Sunday marks Guam's 75th Liberation Day! The island's annual liberation parade on July 21 is traditionally packed with crowds to celebrate Guam's freedom from Japan's cruel occupation. As part of our patriotism, we continue to celebrate and thank those who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces to fight for the freedom that we enjoy today!

Happy 75th Liberation Day, Guahan! Biba Guahan!
