Somewhere in Corregidor Proboards I had seen a photo similar to the one attached with FDR looking at the camera. Attached photo I bought is the one used for the attached article. You’re welcome to add it if you like. One interesting point, if you look at MacArthur’s hand where he is holding what seems to be a cigar, and sleeves on him and FDR it’s obvious someone hightlighted them with pen to make them stand out more. In the photo I bought you can clearly see the highlighting done over the photo so I know it’s the original photo.

Have to hand it to FDR, for a man suffering from polio, he took a lot of trips to the European and Pacific theaters to push the war forward. Couldn’t have been easy for him.

There are a couple more photos in other papers of this same moment, heads turned slightly differently, etc., so I guess whoever took the photos sent out a few of the best ones for publication. You can see how much detail was lost in the printing of the photos in the paper versus the original photos. I guess that was as good as technology allowed for photos in papers back then.

This document, in my view, is undo critical of Gen. MacArthur. To me, it seems, that at this time they already had many Political Correct Writers and news men!!!!!!!!

Zo796. 2020-06-23 one of 3 images (in the album) of me visiting my old command MDSU-1 (ex HCU-1). I served in this command twice, the first time in the Philippines and Viet Nam 1970/71, the 2nd time here when it changed the name, 1981/83. I also served in the sister unit HCU-2 in Norfolk and we moved it to Little Creek then, 1969/70. This unit is located now at the entrance of Pearl Harbor and I stopped by as I was on my way to the former Fort Kamehameha to take some pictures.
