2nd Annual World War II Seven Heroes of Malesso’ Dinner Meaningful

Si Yu’os Ma’åse’ to our families & friends who joined us for the 2nd Annual World War II Seven Heroes of Malesso’ Dinner on July 20, 2024.  Thank you also to Malesso’ Mayor Ernest Chargualaf for his Opening Remarks. We truly appreciate Governor Lou Leon Guerrero & Lieutenant Josh Tenorio for the presentation of the Proclamation of The World War II Seven Heroes of Malesso’ Remembrance Day.  Si Yu’os Ma’åse’ goes out to Päle' Jason Granado for the special mass & blessing of the table.  We also thank the Valley of the Latte for the beautiful Bendision of prayers and chants as we remember our 7 Beloved Heroes who prevented a total massacre of the people of Malesso’.  I’m proud to say that my Tata, Juan Acfalle Naputi, and my 2 uncles (my Nana’s brothers), Mariano Nangauta & Jose Nangauta, are 3 of the 7 heroes. Malesso’ is the only village liberated by the villagers themselves and not by the U.S. Armed Forces.  Let us remember the following beloved heroes:  Jose S. Reyes, Mariano N. Nangauta, Jose N. Nangauta, Juan A. Naputi, Patricio S. Taijeron , Vicente M. Meno, and Nicolas A. Chargualaf.  May all our heroes Rest In Peace! If it weren’t for them, I would not be here today.  🙏😘  Enjoy the following snapshots, and we look forward to seeing you next year!
