General Douglas MacArthur, 84, succumbed after a long and valiant fight. Thus ends the military career that spanned 52 years. A career that began as a dream in childhood. Here are some of the highlights in the distinguished career of this great military man. General MacArthur’s days as Commander of the famed Rainbow Division in World War I. His rise to Brigadier-General, Major General and then full General and U.S. Chief-Of-Staff in 1930. He retired to become Military Adviser to the Philippines but was called back to active duty by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941 His retreat to Australia with his vow to return to his beloved Islands. Victory and the signing of the surrender by the Japanese aboard the battleship U.S.S. Missouri. The war in Korea. His triumphal return home. Unmatched ovations everywhere! Everyone remembers his famous address to a joint session of Congress with the final and familiar words: 'Old soldiers never die, they just fade away'. Above his tomb is this inscription: 'In 20 campaigns, on 100 battlefields, around 1,000 campfires, in long years of peace as well as war. A soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty'. --Contemporary Royalty Free Stock Footage Library: --Business ---- Celebrations ---- Concepts ---- Education ---- Generations ---- Health and Medical ---- Lifestyles --Modern Military ---- Nature Scenic ---- Nature Wildlife ---- Environmental Education ---- On Location ---- Sports Today --U.S. Presidents ---- Weather Watch ---- Contemporary Tragedies And Disasters ---- Motion Graphics - Special Effects --Historical Public Domain Stock Footage Library: --Historic Military And Nuclear Films ---- Newsreels: Events At Home And Around The World ---- Flashback In Time --NASA Space Exploration ---- Classic Cartoons ---- Christmas Programming ---- Religious Programming --Hollywood Films, Television And Trailers ---- Classic Cuts: Single Clip Downloads --Buyout Footage Company Links: --Buyout Footage Homepage ---- About Buyout Footage ---- Stock Footage License Info ---- Submitting Footage To Us --Buyout Footage Site Search ---- Buyout Footage Sitemap ---- Buyout Footage Return Policy --Email Us - Stock Footage Request
