Guam (America's Forgotten Colonies, Part 2/3) 

I live in Guam with the rest of my family. It’s a paradise for us. I’m a proud father of two daughter as Guamanian. I don’t forget the happenings the rest of my life. Thank you

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. God protect our Island of Guam. 💓 💓 💓!!!

Hafa Adai Guam Where America’s Day Begins 🇬🇺 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🌴🌺 Thank you for your Video ❤️ My husband and his family are from Barrigada and Daughter was born at the Guam Memorial Hospital. Now we’re in California and we miss Guam and the people we know. Best Fiesta ever when family and friends gather and enjoy each other.

Met my husband in Guam. We both in Air Force TDY. Been married 36 years. Great memories and great people in Guam. Would love to go back and visit.

I lived on guam for 21 years 1994 to 2015 and i absolutely love this beautiful island and the people there i love the food and the Fiesta

Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Marianna Islands remind me so much of Hawaii. I had the privilege of being stationed at MCB Hawaii at Kanoehe Bay and as I watch this video I miss Hawaii. It's literally my second home. I have been to American Samoa, and Guam and it's ppl are so patriotic and good ppl. Great food and just beautiful Islands. I honestly just miss living in the Pacific....

These are not forgotten to me. I worked for their departments of education 1974-1978. Some of the best memories of my life are my visits and the wonderful people I came to know and love.

born n raised on GUAM for 24years and up till now still watching. Really interesting .

Born and raised in GUAM. I haven’t been home over 40 years. Thank you so much for the video and educating people who do not know who, where and what Guam is about.

I definitely haven't forgotten Guam. I arrived in Guam in January 1964. Apra Harbor on the NW tip of Guam was the homeport of my ship USS Brister DER 327. From Guam we conducted patrols of the Trust Territories of the Pacific, mainly the Mariana Islands and Caroline Islands. I thoroughly enjoyed drives around the island and visits to Anderson AFB. I enjoyed the beauty of the island and hospitality of the Chamorro people. At the end of our deployment in Guam we received orders to set up a blockade of Vietnam.

Thank you for telling this story. I'm learning a tremendous amount about the U.S. Territories in your "Forgotten Colonies" series.

Thank you for your discussion of Guam. For many years my ship was based in Guam with Apra Harbor as its home port under the command of COMNAVMAR, Commander Naval Forces Guam. I spent 1964 either in Guam or on patrols of the Trust Territories of the Pacific. Always visiting with the people of Guam and touring the island. So much has changed since 1964. I would love to visit this island paradise once again.

I lived on Guam for 2 years as a teenager 1969-1971 when my father was stationed there during his naval career. Have many fond memories of it. Hope to see it again at least once before I pass.

We have a similar story here in Jamaica 🇯🇲.Two young lovers had the same fate . The area is called Lovers Leap

I'm Half Chamorro abd half Filipino i love my island i love GUAM and the Philippines. 🇬🇺❤🇵🇭🙏🏻🌴🌺

i have never forgotten Guam i lived there for nine years. oh boonie stopping and Xuan's restaurant how i do miss you.

Have lived on Guam for over 28 years. This is an excellent film about the island. But there's a lot more to Guam than just the WW2 stories...

I was stationed at Anderson AFB in 1998-2000. My father was in the Navy during the Vietnam war and was stationed in Guam as well. I still dream of Guam all the time. I loved the beauty, the beaches, the parties, etc,.. I loved the history, and the waterfalls. I still dream of the beauty, the looooong flight to get there and home in Detroit. I miss the stars at night, and my youth. I'm very thankful to have lived there for 18 months. The people and the women were so sweet. I remember snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, softball games, etc.. I remember the football games, boxing with the Navy pukes. I remember the strip clubs, bars, fistfights, and barely escaping trouble from the SP's and MP's;) Being from Detroit, the weather melted everything. I never sweat like I did in Guam. God blessed me on my journey there... God bless the Chomorrans.. Hafa Adai with love from Detroit, Michigan........

Been in Guam a couple of years ago. Me and my friends met many friendly Filipino-Americans. I want to go back there by myself . I feel safe in Guam.

I spent 1.5 years on Guam. I adopted my daughter on Guam, who’s 1/2 Chamorro. Adopting, without being part of the clan, is highly irregular. So I love her that much more and am so grateful for her.

I grew up on Guam from 10 to 17. Went to New Piti elementary school, Agat Junior High school and then George Washington (GW) High School. Guam is indeed a paradise. I miss and love Guam and still dream of it all these years later… running the jungle, waterfalls in Nimitz Hill, Sigua Falls, Talafofo, snorkeling the bomb craters in Asan and Piti. Oh Lord Jesus protect and bless and keep you in his loving arms people of Guam of my true heart i love you forever…

I lived in Guam for two years while in the U.S.Navy 1978 to 1979. I fell in love with the island and the people. Of all the different places I was able to visit in 20 years in the Navy, Guam is the only one I would truely love to go back to.

I miss Guam so much the people and the Pacific ocean.

My son was born on Guam the most beautiful Island and people it is my favorite place on earth

My grandmother was born in the village of yona she died in so cal I was blessed to hear of her village so I pass on the history to my kids. Viva Chamorro

Both of my parents are survivors of the Japanese Occupation. They have some very interesting stories from their experiences.

Pretty cool, nicely done. After being stationed there for three years, it has changed a lot, I use to go to two lovers point all the time to help clean it up, and repelled down to clean that up as well. And yes they are the nicest people and if there is a fiesta going on it’s almost an insult not to stop and have some food and a beer with them.

I've thought about visiting Guam my self , I watch video's on Guam the more I see the more I think I would like it to visit.

I’ve come to this video mostly to learn about my history, I’m half Japanese and Chamorro so this is interesting.

Amazing video! Thank you for documenting the history and beauty of Guam!

Beautiful Island, interesting history

Peace and love for you Chamarro People God/s people forever Amen... God bless you!!! God's blessing on you forever Amen, God bless... Amen!!

We are military family .. I love Guam Forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was station on guam in the late 80s loved it actually thought about living there great memories and great friends hope to visit and see old friends someday

Being stationed on Guam from 1969 to 1971 those where the best years of my life. So many wonderful memories. I wish I could go back but it wouldn't be the same. Back then there where no highrise Hotels and apartments on the beaches. It is a totally different place now.

I was born in guam and i speak English because my parents did not teach me my language but im proud of my country and i wouldn't trade it for the world

the saying is Guam Is where Americas Days Begin and to me it will be not forgotten because it is very important to the United States of America

Very beautiful island. I certainly plan to visit one day!

I would love to visit here! So much history and beautiful!

I miss this island which I once called home.. just reminiscing the wonderful experience I had living there and flying with the former Continental Micronesia, beautiful island.. beautiful people💕 hafa adai Guam😄

Guam WOW! Such a beautiful place to see. I've never been out of NZ and thought our country was beautiful, But looking at Guam and listening to the peaceful ways the people speak of their home Id sure love to live there myself but I already have a home here in our own gods end of Aotearoa. Down under. Kia ora ra!

Thanks for creating this video! I'm a Native of Saipan but my mother is from Guam. Just a friendly piece of info btw, the word Guamanians is just referring to the natives of Guam. We are Chamorro and we are one people although we may have quite a diverse bloodline mixed of Spanish Japanese and Okinawan we are brought up to carry on as Chamorro people and still have Chamorro blood. Great video though! Enjoyed it and will be sharing it with my Family 👍🏼

every year for my holiday I will fly to guam and I love guam

I was born on Guam and I’ve heard a lot of stories from my great grandparents and from all my relatives

I was born here and I miss it! I cant wait to go back home!

I've been there several times before COVID...already fall in love for the first time when I was there. Wishing to move there someday in near future.

What a great video. Guam looks like paradise. I would like to hear Chamorro traditional music.

Been to Guam and Saipan a Titian by cargo ship. Guam our house had a bushes but if you go through it they was a beautiful sandy beach all to my self. They were huge shell with the creature inside some of them can sting you. Ate coconut crab. Fun loving people. The fad was barbecue meant cut thin with chill pepper vinegar, soy, and fresh leave spices. Fun summer

Great video,many thanks for the video.

Love and regards from Lusburg ( Sierra Leone ).

I have always wanted to visit these islands. I have lived in the Virgin Islands off and on for the last 12 years. These islands look just as beautiful.

I lived on Guam from 1956 to 1958 when my dad was stationed at Anderson AFB. GREAT place to live and had many friends that I still keep up with today.

I’m watching this in guam 😎

I live in Guam! .. have we been forgotten..

Love to guam from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🇬🇺

I spent 18 months on Guam,,,, ive always had Guam in my heart as my 2nd home ,,,,,,,,, i have not been back sense 79,,,,, i wish i could go back !

It's great to hear the Chamorro people speak about their island of Guam. I arrived by air at the airport near Agana in January 1964. My ship, USS Brister DER 327 was based in Apra Harbor at the northwest corner of the island and had been based in Guam for several years. I loved to drive throughout the beautiful island and made frequent trips to Anderson AFB. Thank you for the tour of your landmarks and museums. I would love to visit Guam again. The reason my ship was based in Guam is we conducted patrols of the Trust Territories of the Pacific, primarily the Marianas and Caroline Islands.

Been there 3 times. I loved the island. It is very beautiful.

Chamaro and Italian, respect and love from NYC.

Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

My brother was stationed there in the Korean War.💜💜

Guam is not forgotten by a long shot. Guam is a very important strategic territory. The US Marines fought hard to retrieve Guam at the end of WW2 . Today the Air Force, US Navy and US Marines have bases on Guam....It is Strategically located in the Pacific...and very important

I spent my teenage yrs on Guam. I wish I never left. My happiest yrs were there

good lesson about respecting the earth and elder spirits... makes me think

I am always amazed by Guam, its culture, history and its people. Mabuhay from the Philippines! 🌴

Such a beautiful place and people. My trip there surprised me in many ways, on of which are the beautiful blue skies and waters. I had a pork hamhock sandwich that melted in my mouth. The amount of Japanese people that visit there on vacation is astounding. There is also a large Filipino population there also that I did not know of. Again, such a beautiful and peaceful place to visit.

"What the world needs now is LOVE sweet LOVE!" How true that is! Because where there is LOVE, there's also PEACE!

I’m Chamorro. Thank you for this documentary! I haven’t visited the homeland but always wanted to learn more history about my background. Cheers to you friend.

My father served in the US Navy and I was born in Guam. My family is originally from the Philippines but we now call Virginia our home. I’ve only been to Guam once due to a 4 hour layover from a project I did in Majuro. It’s my dream to visit my birth place before I die and I hope to one day fulfill it soon because for me time is running out. I ask permission from the spirits in Guam to help me with my wish to make my dream a reality to visit the beautiful island of Guam, my birthplace. Thank you spirits.

I was born here😍 Even tho my parents are from Micronesia.. Im proud to be Born here And be also part of micronesia..

I also grew up on Guam. Went to Santa Barbara elementary, Dededo Junior High, John F. Kennedy High school and University of Guam. I love Guam and the food is amazing. Hafa Adai God Bless! ❤

I was in that mountain/cliff. My heart sunk when I read the history of it. Love is precious than life.

I love Guam! I miss my second home. I cried a little looking at the scenery. Had a Adai!

Crazy how $27,000,000 can be raised to build a museum, while Guam Memorial Hospital rots away...

Thank u very much...💖

Great videos . Thanks for sharing

Very good documentary. Greetings from Brazil.

Meu sonho é morar em uma ilha desse modelo bem protegida ... parabéns pelo vídeo

thank you la mancha media for the lovely place love to go back thank you god bless you

Excellent documentary!

Hello, In 1968-1972 I served on two small ships, an ocean going tug and a weather ship, that frequented port on Guam. I was one of 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 cool to see it again. It was just the Clift and coral sea below no railing or pavement back then. Not recalling how exactly a few of us made it the islands interior to splash in the jungle water fall. I was told it was where the last Japanese Soldier lived, don’t really know...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 beaches were empty, but for a fisherman now and then. I went shelling along a rough coral coastline with a huge standing stone, the size of a house. We got stranded without water, found, shelled and cracked open coconuts, was wonderful...A local helped us get back to our car...Near the base there was an off limits area we wandered onto, there where these cliffs that fell away into a jungle with Iguanas, scared the crap out of us! At the bottom there were large looming boulders of ancient focalized coral with caves, one opened to the sea and the most unbelievably beautiful lagoons of glass clear pools. We could just see light thru one cave and of course we ran, one at a time, screaming, thru the cave with cameras, tripods, packs, water and other goodies...on the other side a grand and idealized paradise sand and shell strewn beach...winded and wide eyed, soaking in the moment we shared our amazement...Sorry, I’m going on...I’m old! We do that...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...young, drunk...who didn’t? Turns out they, the frogs are an invasive pest, I understand. So no karma loss...I hope...JD😊 🙏🏽🌏✌🏽 loved this video, Thank You for the much needed and appreciated information...especially loved the masterful native lady, she has deep roots, heart and spirit. Thank You to those who produced and posted this...gonna watch it again...I know I missed something...after all, I’m old...Right? 😃💮
