Are you taking the day off or something? I finally decide to comment and you are absent. No way to treat the troops. I don’t think I will get in anyway. I have tried before and just gave up. Now I’m back.

forget the naysayers. I love your blog. They must at least find something here or they wouldn’t keep coming back. who cares thou. You write for us.

I got the message. I have my passport and I am heading home to Guam. This is one beauty who knows she can represent her Island proudly.

But, how about letting the rest of America that like Anonz says we brown people don’t get the same treatment our white brethren here in America get. My grandparents served in the US military on Guam and we have yet to get the same veteran benefits the white soldiers did. My grandfather was a prisoner of war for four years, and he didn’t receive his corresponding veteran benefits until more than 40 years after the war. Hilary came to speak about things here and never mentioned it.

Clinton glosses over Guam in Asia tour

BY TONY ARTERO • FEBRUARY 26, 2009

Hillary Rodham Clinton, in her Secretary of State remarks at the Asia Society on her U.S. and Asia Two Transatlantic and Transpacific Powers whirlwind tour, in part, said: “Here at home, our government is working to address the housing crisis and restore the banking system. Congress is expected to pass a stimulus package that represents the largest government effort in a generation to create jobs and increase incomes. China, Australia, and others in Asia are responding vigorously.”
She said, “We need multiple engines working together to reignite global growth. … Smart power” is indispensable to our security and prosperity.
Among other comments, she mentioned stateless criminal cartels and human exploitation. Yet Clinton made no mention of America’s continued denial of World War II reparations for the people of Guam. I’m sure most people can relate to this, except for those who align themselves with the powers that be, deeply entrenched in the entitlement mentality.
The money for the World War II reparations for Guam should be no less than that paid to survivors of the 9/11 attacks, if not more, on account of the 64 years later and still waiting.
Also, Clinton did not say a thing about the land-taking frenzy by the federal government following World War II, which transformed Guam from self-sufficiency into dependency. Instead, Clinton said, “We cannot respond with a race to erect trade and other barriers. We must remain committed to a system of open and fair trade.”
She avoided America’s Jones Act, (which is) adversely affecting Guam and Hawaii.
In addition, Clinton implied that America now does not want to be indebted to, thus dependent on, a foreign country, but America is very happy to have made the people of Guam dependent on and subservient to it under America’s colonial powers for 111 years.
