  1. Indeed, 5-Star General Douglas MacArthur, Liberator of the Philippines, said in his final speech in the U.S. Congress, "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." Not anymore! With the creation of YouTube, history comes back alive to those who were part of the war and post-war babies like me, who is a "Halfulbright Scholar of World History." This is a wonderful footage, so clean and good. Kudos to the photovideographer.
