Hafa Adai and Happy Liberation Day! As part of my commitment to continue to share cultural poems relating to our beautiful island of Guam and its people, here’s Korasón Poem #7 titled Liberation Parade. Enjoy! Biba Guahan!
Liberation Parade
Packed with crowds to celebrate Guam’s freedom
From Japan’s cruel occupation
We continue to celebrate
And to thank our Dear Uncle Sam – the United States
During our annual Liberation Parade on July 21.
We are grateful U.S. citizens
Yan Saluda* all who continue to fight for our freedom
In the spirit of the U.S.A.!
