      As a kid it was a fun day to go to the carnival. As an adult I know it’s the day they let our grandparents and great grandparents and great great grandparents out of Camp CK and Camp Susupe. But here’s the thing

      The Americans put them there in the first place, because 1) they didn’t consider the implications of bombing civilians 2) we were aligned with the Japanese. We were the enemy. 🤷🏽‍♂️

      So on one hand, do I want to celebrate Americans letting us out of cages they built themselves? No, but

      On the other hand, do I want to honor my ancestors who went through some gruesome atrocities they had nothing to do with? Maybe 🤷🏽‍♂️

      Man it seems so unfair huh? Our ancestors had nothing to do with the geopolitical nonsense going on between America and Japan in the 30s and 40s. Bruh they were trying to be subsistenence farmers.

      Then Japan attacks America, America responds, and who gets in the middle? Who gets bombs on their homes and latte and water and fields? The Refaluwasch and Chamorro and Okinawans and Koreans (those guys were imported labor).

      Bruh. I can get with commemorating my ancestors hardship, but we should also acknowledge Japan and America ruined the peace my ancestors had. Fawk you boi ask the Manåmkon Sa’ipan—Tiempon Chapoñes was a good time. It only went bad when soldiers came.

      So when we remember today, remember, Japan’s and America’s actions truly ruined our ancestors lives probably gave them PTSD, and destroyed soooooo much.

      IMPERIALISM. I hate to think about it but its true. One time the American WW2 movie Windtalkers was playing at my house and we had just brought our Tang there to hangout. He was idly watching for a few mins, not quite understanding. Then out of nowhere we hear the door slam

      My Tang was outside shouting (I had never heard him shout growing up he was very passive) "MAN DAGGI ENNAO!! MAN DAGGI ENNAO!" (IT'S LYING! IT'S LYING!) Windtalkers was about the Battle of Saipan. My Tang saw America as the enemy bc he saw them kill us, bomb us, invade us.

      My Mom and Dad had to calm him down bc he was in his 80's by then and somewhat frail mentally. I cannot imagine what he saw. I talked to him about it and thats when he told me that the movie was not how it went. But the movie was AMERICAN-MADE. Of course it wasn't how it went.
