Guam, Iwo Jima and Saipan.

Pacific Ocean-Guam-Hagatna  You see a very big U.S. Military presence here.  This is a view  over Agana Bay  at sunset.  Most of the tourists here are from Japan.

I do like the red postmark. Sort of stands out. Guam is a territory of  the United States of America. 

Pacific Ocean-Ogasawara Islands-Iwo Jima  This famous Island forms part of the Ogasawara Archipelago . This island was the setting for the famous battle in February/March 1945. I was here to commemorate the said battle as you can see I was here the exact date 62 years ago. Here you see Mount Suribachi . It was great being part of the commemoration with the Japanese and American vets all here. There are no civilian population here now. Just a military Defence base. 

There is no Post office on Iwo Jima . So I gave this postcard to  one of the Japanese military in charge to mail for me. It was mailed from the a Defence base in Japan. The man who took my card in fact played a part in the movie "Flags of our Fathers" 

Pacific Ocean-Northern Mariana Islands-Saipan-Garapan  Some times you get to a Island and all you want to do is relax. Well this was that Island. At least there was a nice white sandy beach and sunshine..

Another red circular postmark. No choice of stamps at this post office.
