MacArthur Memorial

We are a little ahead of our group to tour the Douglas MacArthur memorial. We are enjoying the breeze and shade. Our tour guide grew up in the Philippines and he said that they studied MacArthur in grade school and high school, yet when we enlisted in the US Navy, they never mentioned MacArthur in their historical studies.

Universally hailed as a military genius, Douglas MacArthur rests in Norfolk, Virginia - a town where he wasn't born and didn't grow up. A 5-star Army General in the largest Naval shipyard in the world.
