McArthur landing memorial at the shores of Leyte Island in the Philippines. This sit is around 8 kilometers from Tacloban City on the waterfront. There is a nice park there where you can get a buko juice and just enjoy the view.
My dear mother-in-law has shared stories about the Japanese occupation of Leyte when she was a small child. Rape and torture was common; starvation and extremely difficult life conditions. To this day, Americans are loved, admired and respected for the sacrifices made to liberate the islands. An unforgettable perspective and reverence for veterans is gained, if you ever come here. Thank God for Douglas MacArthur. I hate what he did in Washington, DC to the War Bonus protestors, however.
