Liberation Day is Guam’s most significant commemorative event, and July 21st, 2024, marks 80 years since the U.S. military delivered the island from Imperial Japanese occupation during World War II. Soldiers from Task Force Talon, the U.S. Army missile defense unit on the island, had the special honor of not only taking part in this year’s festivities, but also recognizing the U.S. troops that fought in the Battle of Guam during the annual Guam Liberation Day Parade.
