On Point: Guam: The Hinge of America's Pacific Defense Begins
ON POINT: Guam: The Hinge of America's Pacific Defense Begins

The people of Guam say "America's day begins" when the sun shines on their island.
That Chamber of Commerce claim is geographically and politically accurate. Guam, in the western Pacific east of the Philippines and north of New Guinea, is sovereign U.S. territory on the bright side of the International Date Line.
In 2022, sunrise on U.S. citizens in Polynesia isn't the only reason Guam is unique and very valuable American terrain.
The politics: Observe the aggressive and imperialist behavior of communist China in Asia and in the western Pacific.
