Twenty-seven Japanese veterans from tank units stationed on the neighboring island of Saipan during World War II (WWII) came to pay respects to fallen comrades during a 60th Anniversary reunion. These veterans had family and friends stationed on Guam, and they didn't learn of their fates for years following the war. They came today with their families to place flowers, burn incense, light candles and give prayers at Tarague Beach a sight of major conflict during the war.
