A World War II memorial is displayed near the airfield in Angaur, Republic of Palau, Dec. 5, 2023. Angaur is known for its historical significance, as it was the site of fierce battles during WWII, specifically the Battle of Angaur which occurred from September 17 to October 22, 1944 between the U.S. and Japan. Today, Angaur is representative of a much different world. Although many military remnants pepper the island, the U.S. and Japan now work together as allies alongside multinational partners to spread joy throughout remote islands in the Pacific, with 2023 featuring the 72nd iteration of Operation Christmas Drop.
