Guam War Survivors Compensation

FILE - This August, 1944 file photo shows a group of U.S. soldiers siting in the foothills near Hagåtña, Guam. The 1941 Japanese invasion of Guam, which happened on the same December day as the attack on Hawaii's Pearl Harbor, set off years of forced labor, internment, torture, rape and beheadings. More than 75 years later, thousands of people on Guam, a U.S. territory, are expecting to get long-awaited compensation for their suffering at the hands of imperial Japan during World War II.
