At the tip of Asan Point, the six-sided Liberator's Memorial honors all U.S. forces involved in the recapture of Guam. Each side is dedicated to a division of the Armed Forces, including the Navy and Navy Seabees, Army Air Corps, Coast Guard, U.S. Army, 3rd Marine Division, and the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade. The Guam Combat Patrol is also honored for helping the Americans scout out Japanese stragglers.
The Liberator's Memorial was installed in 1994 as part of the Liberation of Guam 50th Anniversary ceremonies. It was dedicated by the National Association of Uniformed Services and the Third Marine Division Association, Guam Branch.
Visitors can walk to the Liberator's Memorial via the Asan Point Trail, which starts at the north end of the Asan Beach Unit parking lot.
