What ๐ฌ๐บ means
Guam, a US territory in the western Pacific, flies a dark blue flag with a red border and an oval seal showing a proa canoe and a coconut palm.
Chamorro people and service members post ๐ฌ๐บ for island pride, fiestas and family. It often comes with the greeting "Hรฅfa adai".
Guam sits west of the date line, so it is usually already the next day there compared with the US mainland, which locals joke about in captions.
