In collaboration with Art Meilicke, author of the “United States Naval Career of Jesus Arriola Leon Guerrero: 1 December 1937 - 2 December 1957,” we are looking for some young and energetic people to collaborate and help research, collect, write, and record stories of CHamoru people that joined the U.S. Navy as Mess Attendants/Stewards prior to World War II.
If you are currently in high school or college, this is great opportunity to write a paper on this particular topic, not only to fulfill education requirements, but to help document and publish these stories. Art Meilicke has amassed several sources of information and documents regarding CHamoru men who enlisted in the U.S. Navy prior to World War II.
If you are family members or descendants of these men, we would certainly appreciate your help with documents, photos and any recordings you can share to help fuel this effort of interest towards documenting and telling the stories of these unique group of people.
We are also looking for people to get this word out and if willing to help with this project in some way shape or form.
Please share this special call of effort! Family and friends involved in the academic, we seek your support as well. Every bit of information is valued.
All the collaboration and volunteer effort is being featured on FaceBook link below. Please join us in helping to tell their stories for generations to come.
