Guam (i/ˈɡwɑːm/ or /ˈɡwɒm/; Chamorro: Guåhån; formally the Territory of Guam) is an unincorporated and organized territory of the United States. Located in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, Guam is one of five American territories with an established civilian government. The capital city is Hagåtña, and the most populous city is Dededo. In 2015, 161,785 people were residing on Guam. Guamanians are American citizens by birth. Guam has an area of 544 km2 (210 sq mi) and a density of 297/km² (770/sq mi). It is the largest and southernmost of the Mariana Islands, and the largest island in Micronesia. Among its municipalities, Mongmong-Toto-Maite has the highest density at 1,425/km² (3,691/sq mi) and Inarajan has its lowest density at 46/km² (119/sq mi). The highest point is Mount Lamlam at 406 meters (1,332 ft) above sea-level.
The Chamorros, Guam's indigenous people, settled the island approximately 4,000 years ago. Portuguese-explorer Ferdinand Magellan discovered the island on March 6, 1521. Guam was colonized in 1668 with settlers, like Diego Luis de San Vitores, a Catholic missionary. Between the 1500s and the 1700s, Guam was an important stopover for the Spanish Manila Galleons. During the Spanish–American War, the United States captured Guam on June 21, 1898. Under the Treaty of Paris, Spain ceded Guam to the United States on December 10, 1898. Guam is amongst the seventeen Non-Self-Governing Territories of the United Nations.
Living on Guam, our island people know all too well about surviving a typhoon. "We've gone through typhoons such as this and we're resilient in the part as we're affected as well we're trying to recover at the same time," said Guam Homeland Security Advisor Brigadier General Johnny Lizama.
CCTV correspondent Ginger Vaughn interviews Mark Calvo, a Guam government official, as well as Henry Titano, the Economic Director of Guam, on the possible impact on Guam by the U.S.'s new policy on the Asia Pacific Region.
The Government of Guam and Guam's Department of Revenue and Taxation appeal the district court's permanent injunction requiring the payment of income tax refunds to Guam taxpayers within six months and discontinuing a program for expedited refunds.

The Office of Public Accountability has warned that continued overspending by the government will result in increased tax liability, which means residents continually getting their refunds late. But the Calvo Administration believes it has a solution to put an end to that practice.

The good news is Guam's economy grew last year. The bad news is growth was minimal and appears to be slowing, according to a new report released by the Department of the Interior.
Congresswoman expects to see construction begin on the new Marine base this year where Government of Japan funds will be used for initial infrastructure development.
The people of Britain have spoken following last week's historic referendum to leave the European Union. And while the outcome sent shockwaves throughout the global economy, could it have a rippling effect here on Guam?
We must build up our agricultural capacity and our agricultural community. When we have greater food security, we can prosper. Besides, our people deserve good healthy and affordable food. Reducing the 6,000 miles of supply chain links will create jobs on island. We import 98-99 percent of our foodstuffs; we have to improve this for ourselves. Post World War II, we did not import anything, and we were able to feed thousands of our people, soldiers and workers. We did it then, we can change! Recently, a storm hit Hawai’i and ships were delayed coming to Guam. Grocery shelves were empty of produce. Imagine if there was an emergency at our port. With less than two weeks’ worth of food to last us, we will run out. Agriculture has to be taken seriously as the 3rd leg of our economy.

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com It is a 8,235 kilometers/5,117 miles and 10:45 hours from San Francisco to Tokyo's Narita Airport, a l-o-n-g flight! I always try to choose the Upper Deck on a United Airlines 747 for its secluded atmosphere when lucky enough to use Global Upgrades to Business Class. Avoid the first two rows like the plaque in Upper Deck; close to the toilets which makes it almost impossible to sleep with doors constantly opening and closing. For a while, United was on an upward curve with inflight meals, a short-lived amount of time since food has gone downhill again. But I am easy to please; a cup of nuts, wine, ice cream sundae, and snacks half way through the flight make me happy. We're not there yet, one more flight to go, ANA from Narita to Taipei...groan...

Battle of Guam: The Full Battle of Guam Documentary The Second Battle of Guam (21 July – 10 August 1944) was the American capture of the Japanese held island of Guam, a United States territory (in the Mariana Islands) during the Pacific campaign of World War II. The Allied plan for the invasion of the Marianas, Operation Forager, called for heavy preliminary bombardment, first by carrier aircraft and planes based in the Marshall Islands to the east, then once air superiority was gained, close bombardment by battleships. Saipan, Tinian, and Guam were chosen as targets due to their size, their suitability as a base for supporting the next stage of operations toward the Philippines, Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands; the deep-water harbor at Apra was suitable for the largest ships; and airfields ...

Battle of Guam | US Biggest Pacific Campaign in WW 2 | Military The Second Battle of Guam (21 July – 10 August 1944) was the American capture of the Japanese-held island of Guam, a United States territory (in the Mariana Islands) during the Pacific campaign of World War II. Guam is the largest of the Marianas, 32 miles (52 km) long and 10 miles (16 km) wide. It had been a United States possession since its capture from Spain in 1898 until it was captured by the Japanese on 10 December 1941, following the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was not as heavily fortified as the other Mariana Islands such as Saipan that had been Japanese possessions since the end of World War I, but by 1944 it had a large Japanese garrison.
