I think it is fitting that we recognize the contributions and sacrifices that the people of Guam have made to our country. and the strategically significant role that Guam continues to play in the western Pacific. Guam is the only remaining U.S. territory that was occupied by Japan during World War II from 1941 to 1944. and served as a significant staging area for our military conflicts in World War II. the Korean War. the Vietnam War. and the Persian Gulf War. The people of Guam also served our Nation well in assisting our efforts to resettle thousands of refugees affected by these conflicts. The island continues to be used by the U.S. military as a strategic post in the Pacific. We need to commend the people of Guam for their loyalty and their sacrifice to our country.
