On the lawn of the historical Asan Beach Unit of the War in the Pacific National Historical Park, 1,826 American flags were placed into the ground to honor those servicemen that lost their lives on July 21st, 1944. These valient men sacrificed their lives in order to liberate the Chamorro people from the Japanese occupation which endured two and a half years during WWII.
The flags were placed on the historical battlefield on Friday, July 17th and will remained in place for almost one week while Guam residents and returning veterans commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Liberation of Guam.
