I was stationed there from 1967 to 1969 while in the Navy. There was nothing there than. I absolutely loved the island. I was stationed on the USS Prodeus. In Apra harbour.
My sister married a a sailor from the submarine tender USS Proteus in 1970. Military guys in those days were usually either loners who loved the island, or ones who stuck together and generally resented their time on the “rock” as they were often fond of calling the island.
11/21/24 "Thank You very much" for creating, Producing & making Known your Ten Facts about Guam though they are not 'mind Blowing' especially to We Native Islanders who know about the Facts you mentioned. We are just a very tiny Island(but the Largest Marianas Island out of over a thousand Islands) out in the Pacific Ocean but we are on the Map & many People have known about us. When I moved to St. Louis Missouri in 1984, I lost my voice while traveling due to the change of weather from Guam's very hot climate to Snow in Missouri. My then, husband's best friend who came to dinner one night asked my husband, do I speak English?( I couldn't talk yet cause I was still hoarse voice). My husband(he is African American Black) & I looked at each other & burst out laughing. 🤣My husband told his friend( he's African American Black, too) that I not only know how to speak English but I can TEACH him how to speak it. Then his friend shocked us when he then asked, "Uh, do the People from your Island wear grass skirts, have rings on their nose & hold spears? "He thinks the People of Guam were Uncivilized & Primitive! Uh Duh! HAHAHAHA! He learned one thing fast though. My husband told him about our Chamorro appetizer sauce, finedene. His friend, no matter how much he kept repeating the word finedene, he keeps saying, fene fannie. Oh Man! I can never forget this experience because it was so funny. 🤣😂
The information contained in this video is generic at best. I have seen numerous such videos about Guam, and always find myself wondering how one decides to, is it somehow related to having interests in the tourist industry, the military, or some other area of exploitation?
@@lancevandervelde5496 thank you for watching the video and commenting. What part(s) specifically sound generic. I can always research more and do better next time.
Thank you for sharing information about Guam where I used to live. Watching from Vegas.
