We need you to be as bold and determined as the immortal General Douglas MacArthur, who knew that the American soldier never, ever quits. After leaving the Philippines for Australia at a low point of the Pacific War in 1942, MacArthur famously vowed, “I shall return.” For two years, he then took great strategic risks and placed himself often in personal danger. On October 20th, 1944, MacArthur stepped off a landing boat, strode through knee-high water, and proclaimed, ” People of the Philippines, I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil.” He then called upon the island’s brave people to rise up and joined the fight. America’s momentum was unstoppable.

I SHALL RETURN
