“Kontra i Piligru, Ta Fanachu manifests the unmatched strength and resilience demonstrated by our parents and grandparents during World War II. No matter the catastrophe, whether war, natural disaster, or pandemic, our people have always come back stronger. It is our culture, our faith, and our way of life that have brought our people through the darkest of times,” said Governor Leon Guerrero.
“There is no doubt that the spirit of our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents have brought us to this point. As a result of our collective efforts in defeating this latest intruder, COVID-19, Guam is now a model for the nation. We have shown once again that Against All Peril, We Rise,” added Lt. Governor Tenorio.
In observance of public health and safety protocols, all memorial events will be limited in attendance and live streamed on Governor Lou Leon Guerrero’s Facebook page: facebook.com/govlouguam.
