Description:

Photograph of General Douglas MacArthur (behind the podium) on the Capitol steps. In his speech acknowledging the Thanks of Congress, MacArthur said he would treasure this day, but wanted to also honor the men who served under him. "A general is just as good or bad as the troops under his command. Mine were great."
