Supporting the designation of Guam War Survivors Remembrance Day.
This resolution (HRES 552) is a symbolic measure supporting the designation of "Guam War Survivors Remembrance Day" to honor CHamoru survivors of Japan's 1941-1944 occupation of Guam during WWII. It recognizes their suffering - including forced labor, torture, and loss of over 1,170 civilians - while maintaining loyalty to the U.S., and their role in aiding American liberation forces. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funds; it merely urges the public to observe the day through ceremonies and activities. It aligns with existing recognition, including Guam’s 2016 Loyalty Recognition Act and $38 million in reparations already provided to survivors. The resolution focuses on commemoration, not policy change.
