Certainly Guam has been a keystone in the whole policy of containment coming out of World War II. in the early days. when they had a huge Army base as well as Air Force and naval facilities. I would venture to say that many of the people that are being honored through this resolution. probably hundreds of thousands of people. have stopped in Guam along the way or perhaps were stationed there. Guam had a very important role in the Vietnam war and. of course. its value again to this country has been proven quite recently with the strike in Iraq and even in the evacuation of Kurdish refugees. So Guam remains an important strategic part of the American presence throughout the world. We are happy to do so. and we are happy to play our part.
