A U.S. Army tank from World War II sits near a dock in Angaur, Republic of Palau, Dec. 5, 2023. Angaur is known for its historical significance, as it was the site of fierce battles during World War II, specifically the Battle of Angaur which occurred from September 17 to October 22, 1944 between the U.S. and Japan. Today, Angaur is representative of a much different world. Although many WWII relics pepper the island, the U.S. and Japan now work together as allies alongside multinational partners to spread joy throughout remote islands in the Pacific, with 2023 featuring the 72nd iteration of Operation Christmas Drop.
