I miss my island! Guam is where I grew up. Harmon Village, Carlos Heights, Marianna's Terrace. I have been home so many, many times in my heart and in my dreams. I left Guam (physically) to serve in the United States Air Force with tears in my eyes. I love Guam. I have a lot of family and loved ones there. I would do just about anything to be home again.

I was one a a few that took to the roads and not so much the base bar while tied to the pier in Guam. We went to the lovers leap, it was just the Clift and sea below no railing or pavement. Not recalling how exactly a few of us made it the islands interior to splash in the jungle water fall. On one outing, one of my Buddies brought his surfboard, yes, he surfed in Vietnam as well. We drove around the island and he surfed a few spots it was amazing, most were without others. Went shelling along a rough coral coastline got stranded without water, found, shelled and cracked open coconuts. Near the base there was an off limits area we wandered onto where the cliffs fell away into a jungle with Iguanas, scared the crap out of us! At the bottom there were large looming boulders of old coral with caves that opened to the sea and the most unbelievably beautiful lagoons. One we could see light thru. Of course we ran, one at a time, screaming, thru the cave with cameras, packs, water and other goodies...Sorry, I’m going on...I’m old! We do that...amI Right? At any rate it was a fantastically wonderful island...glad I took the opportunity to get out there...oh yes did the bar, kicked giant frogs on the way back to the ship...who didn’t?

My father was on board the U.S.S Penguin stationed at Apra Harbor, Guam when the Japanese attacked. They had received radio traffic about the Pearl Harbor attack and were outside the harbor when they were stradled by two bombs a half-mile off shore. Only one person died and sixty were wounded and they brought him to shore. They made it to shore in life rafts. The Naval Governor of the island was Navy Captain George McMillin. The Japanese landed over 5,000 troops to battle the opposition force of 653 (153 Marines, 271 sailors, 134 civilian construction workers and members of Pan American Airways and 80 members of the Guamanian Inuslar Force Guards). Almost all of the American service personnel were taken prisoner to Japan. Some escaped into the jungle and were aided by the Chamorro people of Guam. They never gave up the Americans even after sustaining brutal treatment and death at the hands of the Japanese soldiers. My father always said the people of Guam were some of the nicest people that he had met and he always had a special place in his heart for the way they hid the American escapees. For more information about the Pacific theater and POWs see: www.mansell.com/pow-index.html .May the Good Lord bless and keep the Chamorro people for all that they have done to help the United States in our time of need. Beautiful video, by the way. Very well done.

I am a native of Guam, born on the island & became US citizen, the generations after the WWII. The island has its fables & religious believes-Catholicism, but over the years other religion came on island call Protestants back then, other Denominations came on island also. Missionaries came on island, Baptist, Lutherans, Methodise, SDA's, Jewish, Christianity etc etc. Not all Chamorro's beliefs in the fables & supertistious believes of the island. Our people has been educated & knows what's is true & ancient traditional, those who believes on these things is there choice but others chose not too with all due respect... Christianity is a growing faith over the island as well by personal choice. I for one falls under that Faith ...

What many don't understand is that, as a Guamanian American, if a person is from Guam but moves to the mainland and stablishes a residency (6 to 12 months depending on the state), he will be able to vote for the president. Vise versa, if you are from Cali and move to Guam and stablish a residency on Guam, you will not be able to vote for the president. It's about the land, not the people. Anyone born on Guam is American citizen by birth. If you travel to Guam, you will be meet by US INS at the airport. If you leave, TSA will check your bags, then INS will scan your passport. Some pregnant tourists from Russia and Asia sometimes travel to Guam hoping to give birth on the Island.

I can attested to most of what they speak of, my grandma god rest her soul passed away this year just under 100 yrs old witnessed what the Japanese did to our island. It is true that Chamorros were happy to be alive and yes they did want to repopulate the island with Guamanian blood. My grandparents had 17 children and all are still alive today. My family is the second biggest family in Guam with the first being Sablan Which I am still related to by blood so just imagine how big my family events can be lol. I am half Guamanian and half Mexican and full grown American. I’m proud of where my blood comes from and the soil I step on everyday.

[@lamanchamediatube]

Nice comment, provides real context and validation. Thank you

[@lamanchamediatube]

Interesting. Can you point to any reading material on your claim regarding Guam as a penal colony?. Thanks

[@lamanchamediatube]

Really interesting Maki. Thank you for that. Filipinos are all over the islands, working hard, everywhere in Pacific that I've been too.

These videos are really informative. I was also curious about living in America Samoa or Guam.
