HAGÃ TÃA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, March 28) - The harmonious chords of the Star Spangled Banner floated across Asan Bay yesterday immediately followed by the rich notes of the Russian national anthem.
Yesterday morning, Russian and U.S. Navy officials gathered at the Asan Bay Overlook unit of the War in the Pacific National Historical Park to remember those from all nations who died during World War II.
The leader of the U.S. Navy on Guam and the highest-ranking officials with the visiting Russian navy both emphasized how important maintaining mutual understanding between the two countries is to fostering a good working relationship for the future.
