	A Douglas MacArthur Story
		MacArthur's position in Filipino heart, right up there alongside their own national heroes such as the martyred Dr. Jose Rizal (who was executed by the Spanish) and Manuel Quezon, does not have merely to do with the victory over Japan in World War II or with the liberation of the Philippines.
		MacArthur admired the Filipino guerrilla's style, their bravery, their ingenuity (as did his son, who was to make dramatic use of Filipino guerrilla operations during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines forty years later).
		MacArthur's first landfall in the retaking of the Philippines was the provincial capital of Tacloban, the typhoon-swept chief port of Leyte province, hometown of a leggy, doe-eyed motherless girl who, twenty years later, was to become the First Lady of the Philippines.

		MacArthur instead ordered the planes to be moved, to conserve them from Japanese raids; only half had been moved when FEAF was all but destroyed on the ground, the prelude to a Japanese invasion.
		MacArthur did not believe this to be a danger, advising absolute defeat for the North Korean forces, and famously-advising, "There is no substitute for victory." On November 19, 1950, Chinese military forces crossed the Yalu River, routing the U.N forces and forcing them on a long retreat.
		MacArthur spent the remainder of his life quietly in New York, except for a spectacular "sentimental journey" to the Philippines in 1961, when he was decorated by President Carlos P. Garcia with the Philippine Legion of Honor, rank of Chief Commander.

	General Douglas MacArthur and Governor Jonathan Belcher
		MacArthur had disembarked from a cruiser, and while being transported toward shore, had left his barge when it ran aground fifty feet from shore, and dressed in his khaki uniform, had waded through knee-deep waters to walk the final few yards to the beach.
		In 1844, Judge MacArthur found the proper girl he thought should be his wife, and he married her in Massachusetts--the state formerly known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which from 1730-1741 was under the rule of American Colonial Governor Jonathan Belcher (1682-1757), "Commander-in-Chief and supreme Governor of New England" and Vice-Admiral of the same.
		Thus, Aurelia Belcher was the ancestress of two Medal of Honor recipients: General Arthur MacArthur, Jr., of whom she was the mother, and General Douglas MacArthur, of whom she was the grandmother.

		Douglas MacArthur is a leader who moved uneasily as a tragic and sometimes heroic, occasionally bureaucratic, and even superman character, between the four modalities of leadership defined in Figure One.
