STOP #2: CONNECTION AT ANDERSON AIR FORCE BASE IN GUAM

OPERATION NEW LIFE WAS THE TITLE OF THE OPERATION TO CARE FOR HOUSE REFUGEES TEMPORARILY IN GUAM WHILE THEY WERE BEING PROCESSED TO ARRIVE AT THEIR FINAL REFUGEE DESTINATION IN SAN DIEGO. GUAM WAS USED AS A STOPPING POINT ALONG THE ROUTE DUE TO ITS GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION AND POSITION IN THE PACIFIC. THIS CAUSED A NEED FOR RESIDENTS OF GUAM TO WORK WITH US MILITARY FORCES IN ORDER TO CARE FOR THOSE REFUGEES.
