U.S. Air Force Col. Dan Cooley, 36th Wing commander shares a heartfelt message about why Guam's 81st Liberation Day is more than just a holiday at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, July 21, 2025. The annual parade honors the bravery and sacrifice of the U.S. service members who liberated Guam in July 1944 and recognizes the resilience of the Chamorro people who endured nearly three years of occupation. Guam Liberation Day marks the island's return to freedom and celebrates the enduring partnership between Guam and the United States. ( U.S. Air Force Video by Senior Airman Manasseh Demissie) More
