This is a site of my childhood memories of the Japanese-American War in the Philippines, 1941-1945. The photo is General McArthur landing in Leyte fulfilling his promise of "I shall return", liberating the Philippines from the Japanese invaders. Some of the photos and videos in this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention in infringing your copyrights.
