"How seriously should Guam residents take North Korea's missile threats? That question is on the minds of island residents as April 15, a special date for North Koreans, nears. "Every time I think about the threat, I pray," says Marissa Antonio, of Dededo, a village near Andersen Air Force Base, which was threatened by Pyongyang. "I am a bit scared," she adds. "I try not to think about it, but I got to be prepared." Last week, North Korea moved a mid-range missile to its east coast. The missile was designed to be capable of reaching Guam, a U.S. territory with military bases. April 15 is a looming date because it is the 101st birthday of North Korea's deceased founder, Kim Il Sung. He is the grandfather of North Korea's current leader, Kim Jong Un."
