Current Goal

I am the Guam Seal. You can find out more about me in the description. I have a simple, yet difficult mission. I would very much like to go to my homeland of Guam. I do want to see as many places as I can to share my history with many different people. However, Guam is where I would most like to go.

About This Item

Image hosting by PhotobucketImage hosting by Photobucket Approved 9 February 1948. The basic design of the flag was approved on 4 July 1917, and in 1948 a narrow red border was added. The blue stands for the Pacific Ocean. The seal is in the shape of a sling-shot used by the ancient Chamorros for hunting and warfare. It is a symbol of the protection and endurance of the home government. The seal depicts a typical landscape in Guam, seen from the mouth of the Agana River. The lonely coconut palm tree escaped being uprooted during the destructive typhoon of 1918 and therefore it symbolizes perseverance, courage, strength and usefulness (coconut is the main crop of the island). In the distance in 'Two Lovers' Point' which represents faithfulness to a good cause. According to legend, two lovers preferred to kill themselves by jumping from the Point rather than be forced to marry someone they did not love. The outrigger canoe recalls the fame of the native people, the Chamorros, for their nautical skills. It stands for bravery and skill in making the best of one's environment

maybe this can get to Guam faster by way of California, good luck! Yikes I see that's where it started from, oh well, it's been stuck a long time in MN and WI, I think it has a better chance from CA!

I'm not headed anywhere near Guam, but I can help with the other objective of seeing different places.
