It's me! Flat Stanley! Do you miss me? I am having so much fun! I am in Guam!! It took me 8 days to get here. The island of Guam is located southeast of Japan in the Marianas Island chain. Guam is a U.S. Territory. I am on my way to one of the park units in the National Park Service. The weather is beautiful and sunny!

Here I am at Ga'an Point, one park unit in the War in the Pacific National Historical Park. This park commemorates the bravery and sacrifice for those who participated in the Pacific Theater of World War II. It is located in the village of Agat, in southern Guam.

Here I am hanging out with Ian Lundgren. He works as a Biological Science Technician. He helps protect our natural resources. He was really nice and fun to play with. He showed me all the historic sites at this park. We are standing in a pillbox that housed a Japanese 75 mm gun. This site was one of the landing sites of the United States Armed Forces when the island of Guam was being liberated from the Japanese during World War II.

This is the other side of the pillbox. This is the hole where they stuck the barrel of the gun out.

This gun is a 20 cm coastal defense gun that was fired by the Japanese on U.S. troop ships and landing craft on July 21, 1944. Most of these coastal defense weapons would have been hidden beneath camouflage nets or in concrete bunkers like the one I saw earlier.

Guam is a tropical island and has lots of coconut trees. I found this coconut lying on the beach!

It's time for me to go on a ride to another park unit! I am so cool I get to ride in the official park ranger vehicle!

I hope you had fun seeing all the places that I got to go. I know where I am going next, but I want it to be a surprise for you! I miss you guys! See you soon!

Love,
Flat Stanley
