The people of Guam continue to suffer as a colony of the United States. Although they are considered U.S. citizens, and have fought and died in unparalleled numbers in American wars, Guam's people cannot vote for U.S. president or have a voting representative in U.S. Congress.

All eyes were on the island of Guam during their rare opportunity in this historical first. For the first time, Guam played an integral part in the democratic primaries. Though the people of Guam can not yet vote for president, their votes in the Guam Caucus was a decisive factor in determining the Democratic presidential nominee for 2008. Amidst all of this, this short documentary delves right into the heart of an important question -- should the people of Guam, as US citizens, have the right to vote for president?

http://www.getguythemedal.com Guy Gabaldon died on August 31, 2006 and the nation lost a real American hero. During the bloody struggle for Saipan in July 1944, U.S. Marine PFC Guy Gabaldon is officially credited with capturing over 1500 Japanese soldiers and civilians single-handedly, a record that is untouchable in the annals of American military history. This is a particularly extraordinary feat based on the fact that the Japanese considered surrender to be cowardly and dishonorable, and were ordered to kill 7 Americans for every 1 Japanese soldier captured. For over sixty years, Guy talked about his exploits on that island, sharing his experience and using his celebrity to inspire new generations who valued bravery and bravado. However, war experience alone does not make a life, and Guy's didn't stop in 1944. He lived many different lives and most importantly he took it upon himself to help the less fortunate, particularly the wayward teenagers he encountered when he returned to the Mariana Islands in 1980, where he would live for twenty years.
