    Residents, service members honor unique experience of Memorial Day on Guam

    Men of the pack Howitzer Battalion aboard an LST, study a relief map of the area on Guam on which they are to land. Captain Phillip P. Santon, Battalion Intelligence Officer, is aiding the lecture. The Guam assault by the Third Marine Division and the First Marine Provisional Brigade came July 20, 1944, after a 17-day aerial and naval bombardment which established a record tonnage of explosives dropped on a Japanese position. The Marine advance was steady and the former American possession, captured by the Japanese on December 10, 1941, was completely won by August 9, 1944. (Courtesy Photo)
