Just got back from the Pearl Harbor tour. Outstanding to see the Arizona and Missouri and get a feel in person of the harbor. I had visited Corregidor and Bataan before and General MacArthur's Penthouse at the Manila Hotel. Very interesting to sit on MacArthur's bed where he 1st got the news and then to stand on the spot where he took the surrender...

I have read that MacArthur's favorite subject was Civil War History and his favorite author Douglas Southall Freeman..Lee's Lieutenants and RE. Lee.
