Great war hero and tribute center. They fought for our freedom. Freedom isn't free, millions paid the ultimate price for our freedom. thanks for sharing
Thank you for yet another well produced, informative video! This is a nice memorial that offers a glimpse of history and dive into the life of one of very few generals to reach such high ranking status. I appreciate such a nice overview that will be valuable to anyone either considering going or who will never make the trip. This video will be found extremely helpful either way. I've said, "I shall return!" many times throughout my life, namely when excusing muself to run to the bathroom while at a restaurant with my family. Today, I learned where that famous phrase likely came from.
Thank you for the history on General McArthur. Three wars ! 🥹 Worth Honouring the Man. Amazing paper Cranes and yes to Peace and we need it more than ever! Great war memorial and graves. Great honour he was bestowed. A rich long life. Died the year after I was born. His wife lived on to have a ripe old age. Thank you for this rich man's life and history. Have a great day. 🙏🏼👍🏼🤠
Three tragic wars! Lovely that the Memorial is just not for him, but as he wanted it, for all that served in them. A true decorated hero! One of our honored 5. While I was in the service years ago, I had the privilege of seeing Omar Bradley in person. Yes, I'm that old! 🤣🤣Beautiful memorial and so many wonderful displays. Sad the way his military career came to an end. Both he and Truman were right which is rare. Love that his legacy lives on! Loved coming along, Alice and Jack.
MacArthur was sadly set up to fail when Truman ordered the illegal invasion of North Korea on 9/11/50, before the Inchon landing even happened, without congressional authorization or UN authorization. The original UN resolution said to only liberate South Korea up to the 38th parallel. MacArthur told General Walker to stop at the 38th parallel but Truman and George Marshall and the State Department bizarrely ordered MacArthur and Walker to cross the 38th. Truman did that mostly for election reasons in November 1950 by trying to use MacArthur's great Inchon victory to help his party in the midterms. MacArthur delayed invading North Korea until the UN voted to authorize the crossing of the 38th parallel on 10/7/50. The UN didn't cross until 10/9/50. It is strange how nobody ever talks about how every disaster that happened in late 1950 was the fault of Truman's stupid order to illegally invade North Korea.
That is a long military career. Facinating history and good memorial to soldiers. Enjoyed learning about General MacArthur. Wow his wife lived a long time👍. Thanks for sharing this video. Cheers
What an impressive museum! I had no idea what an extensive career he had! So much to learn here! Awesome to hear the recognition his wife received as well. Great video! Thanks!!
This video was a fascinating look at General MacArthur's life and legacy. I especially enjoyed learning more about his role in rebuilding Japan after the war. It never occurred to me that he played such a significant part in shaping their future. The paper cranes from the local kids were a beautiful touch too. Thanks for sharing!
MacArthur also has a memorial in Little Rock at the actual building where he was born in, called the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas Military History, and he has a MacArthur Museum in MacArthur Chambers in Brisbane, Australia which is located in the actual building and actual rooms where his HQ was as Supreme Commander of the SW Pacific in Brisbane. There are two famous statues of him at Inchon and Leyte where the South Korean people and Filipino people honor MacArthur with wreath ceremonies and paying their respects to him via his statues at the very locations where he landed in Leyte and Inchon.
Wow I didn’t know about this place. Did they have one of his pipes there or did I miss it? 2001? His wife had to be considerably younger than him! Cool spot!
Yes! His pipe, hat and sunglasses were all there. Did we get home from our road trip and realize we didn't get a picture of those things? Yes, we did. But they are there. This was his second wife and she was about 18 years younger than him, as second wives often are. Thanks for watching!
@@trvlnthru yeah, I fell down a Wikipedia rabbit hole on McArthur after watching your video. I guess his son, Arthur McArthur IV is still alive but lives under an assumed name and avoids publicity.
These memorial type of videos are tough to edit. I’ll take notes with how you guys do it. I have incorporated more voiceovers - which is influenced by your channel. Wow - even has something on Filipino history. WWII history is just so interesting. Philippines owe a lot to the US. Rosalie would like those kids games and gift shop for sure.
I can't imagine that this place will continue to have much significance in the future. There were greater generals than MacArthur who have far less Napoleonic burial spots. Gen. John Pershing, for instance, not only outranked MacArthur, but had a greater command. Yet he is buried in Arlington with the same simple cross that marks graves of enlisted men. But Pershing was not a pretentious general who actively chased acclaim. Nor was George Marshall, who was MacArthur's boss.
That's cool that there's a whole memorial for General MacArthur there! A lot of history there, and plenty of information on the man himself. 🙂 Free admission too! Thanks guys, well presented!
Ironically that is the most false and inaccurate nickname of all time because on 12/29/41 he was almost killed by Japanese aerial bombs when one bomb landed only 10 feet from him when he was outside of his house on Corregidor, barely missing him but wounding his aide-de-camp. He was called "Bravest of the Brave" by his Rainbow Division soldiers in WWI when he was a colonel and brigadier general who did trench raids and went into no man's land for battles and reconnaissance missions in France alongside his men. Did you know that Dugout Doug was coined by FDR BEFORE December 1941? There was a well-funded Democrat machine whose sole job was to attack MacArthur prior to WWII. One of their jobs was to come up with horrible names of him. Dugout Chester (Nimitz) and Dugout Dwight (Eisenhower) and Dugout George (Marshall) are far more accurate considering all three of those REMFs never served in combat for a single second in their lives unlike MacArthur.
His arrogance cost the rapid surrender of the Philippines Islands he thousands to die in the death march. His island by island fighting cost thousands of unnecessary American lives. Lastly he never set foot on Korea. He was not the leader many were led to believe sadly.
Incorrect and everything you just said are flat out lies. FDR and George Marshall doomed the Philippines when they refused to adequately send supplies and men to the Philippines until July 1941, way too late to properly defend the Philippines. MacArthur went to Washington DC in the late 1930s begging for Springfield rifles but FDR and Marshall laughed at him and told him they won't give them to him. His island by island fighting actually resulted in the fewest casualties by any theater commander by far. He lost far less men than Dugout Chester Nimitz, for example. MacArthur lost 1,600 men at the Papua campaign from July 1942 to January 1943 while Dugout Chester lost 7,100 at the Guadalcanal campaign. MacArthur lost less men from June 1942 to September 1945 than Dugout Chester and he lost less men in that time period than Dugout Dwight Eisenhower did in December 1944 alone! You conveniently did not mention that MacArthur made about 20 trips to Korea during his time as UN Commander while the highly overrated Ridgway didn't visit Korea a single time when he became UN Commander in April 1951. MacArthur risked his life when he flew into Korea including at Suwon Air Base while the North Koreans were conquering Seoul in late June 1950. MacArthur also flew his unarmed plane along the Yalu right before the illegal Chinese invasion and wanton murder of American troops in late November risking his life in Korea. There is a statue dedicated to MacArthur at Inchon and Leyte and the South Koreans and Filipinos pay tribute to MacArthur every year on the anniversary of those landings, thanking MacArthur and giving wreaths and flowers to his statue. You also conveniently don't talk about his masterful job in the Occupation of Japan where the Japanese Constitution that is still intact today is called the MacArthur Constitution. He was the greatest military servicemember in U.S. history.

Dug out Doug.
Ironically that is the most false and inaccurate nickname of all time because on 12/29/41 he was almost killed by Japanese aerial bombs when one bomb landed only 10 feet from him when he was outside of his house on Corregidor, barely missing him but wounding his aide-de-camp.
