00:17 On December 7th, 1941, the island of Guam was suddenly and surprisingly attacked by enemy forces.
00:24 Of the small U.S. Navy garrison, all were finally forced to surrender, except for a handful of men who took to the bush.
00:31 They hid and fought.

00:38 Chico!
00:39 Until only one remained alive. One man searched for day and night with a price on his head.
00:46 You have nothing to worry about here. You're safe with us.
00:50 Will you be safe, father?
00:52 People tried to hide us and feed us, and they cut their heads off. I don't want anybody else to get killed.

01:19 Tweed, I was so scared. I thought maybe something happened.
01:24 I don't want you to come here anymore.
01:26 Why, Tweed?
01:27 There's a gun crew on the other side of the hill, and they've been practice firing all day.
01:31 Another ship came to Ogana with 1,000 more soldiers.
01:34 A lot of guys are going to get killed coming ashore. Unless we can pass the word to the Navy, let them know where they're set and waiting.
