As soon as I mentioned this sentence: "Veterans don't die, they just disappear gradually", I couldn't help but think of MacArthur with a corncob pipe and his speech entitled "Veterans don't die" delivered at the Capitol on April 195 19, so many people put this sentence.

Douglas macarthur (1880 65438+1October 26th-1April 5th, 964) was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, and was a famous American strategist. 1944, MacArthur was awarded a five-star general in the army. During World War II, he served as commander of the US Far East Army and commander of the Allied Forces in the Southwest Pacific Theater. After the war, he became the supreme commander of the allied forces in Japan and the commander-in-chief of the "United Nations Army".

He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his performance in the Philippine campaign, and his father Arthur MacArthur was the first father and son to receive the Medal of Honor at the same time. MacArthur is the general who won the most medals in the US army, navy and air force, and the only American general who participated in World War I, World War II and Korean War. MacArthur is the youngest brigadier general in the United States, the youngest president of West Point Military Academy, and the youngest army chief of staff in the history of the United States Army. MacArthur is called "a generation of veterans" by American nationals.
