This resolution expresses support for the designation of July 21, 2025 , as "Guam Liberation Day." This day would commemorate the 81st anniversary of Guam's liberation by the United States from Imperial Japanese occupation during World War II, specifically highlighting the landmark battle launched from Asan Bay on July 21, 1944. The resolution aims to honor the profound significance of this historical event and the immense sacrifices made by both the CHamoru people and American servicemembers. The resolution details the harsh three-year occupation endured by the CHamoru people, including forced labor, atrocities, and the tragic march to the Manenggon concentration camp. It also recognizes the bravery of thousands of American troops who fought to liberate the island, with significant casualties, making the Guam campaign one of the deadliest in the Pacific theater. Finally, the resolution encourages the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe Guam Liberation Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, saluting the honor and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom in Guam.
