SOE Alumni Update: Happy 66th Liberation Day, Guam!

Tomorrow marks Guam's 66th Liberation Day! The island's annual liberation parade on July 21 is traditionally packed with crowds to celebrate Guam's freedom from Japan's cruel occupation. As part of our patriotism, we continue to celebrate and thank our Dear Uncle Sam - the United States and to those who serve in the Armed Forces who continue to fight for our freedom!

Happy 66th Liberation Day, Guam! Biba Guam! Biba SOE!
