Standing at 7 ft. tall and gazing toward the Pacific Ocean, the Lone Sailor Statue was unveiled during a ceremony at the Ricardo J. Bordallo Governor's Complex in Hagåtña, Guam Dec. 15.

The effort to place a statue on island was an initiative of the Vietnamese-American community and the U.S. Navy Memorial to demonstrate the special relationship between the Navy, the Sea Services, Guam and thousands of Vietnamese citizens who found refuge on island in the closing days of the Vietnam War during Operation New Life.
