The Marine Corps was well represented today at a public hearing to clarify the name of Guam’s main automotive road artery. Senator and former Marine Bob Klitzkie’s bill to change Marine Drive to Marine Crops Drive received overwhelmingly positive testimony from Marines, former Marines as well as other members of the public. Senator Klitzkie says he hopes his bill will clarify that Marine Drive is dedicated to the memory of the Marines who died retaking Guam from the Japanese during World War II.
