I shall return!
They have ego in common that’s for sure. 😏
My Dad was there that day.
Third day of the invasion of Luzon.
Just to the left of this picture there was a quay. Where all of the ships docked up to unload. MacArthur thought it would be more impressive IF he and the rest of them waded ashore. Then he said “I have returned”.
When my father came ashore earlier in the day they had to walk on the bodies of the dead Australian and US Marines that covered the beachhead.
