Invasion Beach

By looking at this lovely, peaceful beach today you could never imagine what must have taken place in 1944. This is where the American forces landed wave after wave of troops at the start of the Battle of Saipan. Two thousand American casualties happened here, many from a machine gun on Agingan Point. This point is off to the left as you look toward the ocean. Each time I take a stroll on this beach I remember the soldiers who had to fight a full day just to get off the beach. The south side of this beach was once an ancient Chamorro village. My daughter found a large piece of 2,000+ year-old pottery which we donated to the museum.
