Marianas Campaign of World War II![]() Photo courtesy of U.S. Marine Corps The Marianas Campaign of World War II was the most decisive battle of the Pacific Theater. With Saipan secured on July 9th, U.S. Forces were able to cut off vital Japanese supply and communication lines, and American B-29 bombers moved within range of the Japanese homeland. The end of the war with Japan followed 14 months later. |
Honoring Their SacrificeAs a result of the Marianas Campaign, thousands of military personnel and many island residents lost their lives. American Memorial Park serves as a living legacy and honors their sacrifice at three distinct locations within the park: the Memorial Court of Honor and Flag Circle, the Marianas Memorial and the Saipan American Memorial and Carillon Bell Tower. Honoring Their Sacrifice displays images, additional information, and the names of individuals who are memorialized. |
