Guam 75th Liberation Celebration at Onslow Beach Camp Lejeune NC 2019. 

Same celebration but a different year...
After World War II was over Agueda Iglesias Johnston (a community leader in Guam) had convinced US military leaders on Guam to support a celebration to commemorate and celebrate the Liberation of the island from the Japanese. This yearly celebration continues to this day as one of Guam’s holidays – Guam Liberation Day, which is celebrated on July 21st.

While there were Liberation Day commemorations in the late 1940s and then Liberation Day celebrations in the early 1950s, the first Liberation Day queen contest wasn’t held until 1948.
