| So many thousands of young boys have been killed in insane wars, during all those years that humanity have existed. I have seen enormours graveyards in Verdun, France, from the first world war. I have also seen the largest war cemetary at Omaha Beach, Normandie, where more than 10.000 young soldiers are buried. I have seen Arizona Memorial in Honolulu. And here is a graveyard in Guam, with young soldiers, who were killed during second world war 1941-44. Also many civilians were killed in Guam. |

Guam's history is full of turmoil. from Spain controlling it since the 1500's to the japanese invading in the 40's.
littered with so many who have died for their cause and country/island.
i'm glad we can honor them for what they've done.
