AGP Executive Report

WWII Remembrance: A 102-year-old U.S. Navy veteran, Frank Weber, is preparing to mark May 25 with Pearl Harbor memories still vivid—boot camp cut short, then a Pacific assignment aboard the USS Colorado. Food Waste & School Meals: Japan’s Ehime University students are pushing the “Marianas Kyushoku Project,” pointing to Saipan’s high leftover rates (about 80% of students leaving uneaten food) and working on meal reforms through repeated island exchanges. Community Support Grants: Bank of Guam and partners awarded grants to local groups focused on children’s needs, youth mentorship through cultural expression, and sports equipment for village gyms. War Dogs in the Pacific: WWII coverage spotlights Marine dog handlers and the K-9 platoons used in jungle warfare—an unusual but lifesaving chapter tied to Memorial Day. Local Governance & Infrastructure: CNMI’s Broadband Policy office signed a BEAD subgrant with IT&E for $31.3M in federal funds plus nearly $22M in private match, aiming for fully underground fiber to about 10,000 locations across Saipan, Tinian, and Rota.
