Twenty-seven Japanese veterans from tank units stationed on the neighboring island of Saipan during World War II (WWII) came to pay respects to fallen comrades during a 60th Anniversary reunion. These veterans had family and friends stationed on Guam, and they didn't learn of their fates for years following the war. They came today with their families to place flowers, burn incense, light candles and give prayers at Tarague Beach a sight of major conflict during the war. The Japanese tank units at Tarague were the last enemy tanks on Guam and with their destruction by the United States Marine Corp (USMC) all organized resistance on Guam had ended

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
