Quote of the Day: March 20,  2010


“There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.”


Douglas MacArthur [1880-1964], in Courtney Whitney, MacArthur: His Rendezvous with History, 1955

Photo on top is a picture of the General Douglas MacArthur memorial statues at Red Beach, Palo, Leyte, Philippines. The statues are about 10 feet tall - placed there to commemorate the Oct. 20, 1944 moment that MacArthur returned. It's called MacArthur Park - but during the presidential term of Ferdinand Marcos, it was called Imelda Park - especially because the First Lady, Imelda Marcos, developed the memorial and was from this province. After they left the Philippines it went back to the original name "MacArthur Park".
