Did you know until these day there are so many people who hate Douglas MacArthur. Considering his acomplishments. It really makes me disgusted how ungrateful so many americans are to him to what he accomplished in WWII and Korea. I have had arguments with others in a forum and I was using the Museum curator as my consultant when a lot of questions were asked. And the Museum curator was able to back up all this explanations with historical info and facts from theri vast archive.

Greetings Philip,
First of all I'd like to thank you for teaching me how to insert the photos. They really look great. I'll look through my pile of photos and see what would be relevant for this website. Most of my photos are of aircraft and armour WWII thru the present. Would you be interested in seeing them. I think I have a couple of WWII Japanese tanks from Aberdeen.
I could believe that there a lot who still disagree with a lot of the things that he did. But like you said his accomplishment will speak for themselves. He was a very controversial personality which is why he is Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
