War in the Pacific National Historical ParkLocated on the island of Guam, War in the Pacific National Historical Park was established in 1978 to commemorate the courage and sacrifice of those who participated in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The island of Guam, located in the South Pacific and the largest of the Mariana Islands, was the site of a significant battle in 1944 when U.S. forces liberated the island from a brutal two and a half year occupation by Japanese imperial forces. On July 21
st, 1944, American forces landed on Guam at Apra Harbor and regained control of the island over the ensuing three weeks. War in the Pacific National Historical Park encompasses many of the sites involved in this battle, including the beaches of Asan Bay, which are pictured on this coin. The park is dedicated to preserving these historic sites and sharing this part of American history with future generations
