Letter from General Douglas MacArthur to Mrs. Kay Kozlowski Zf706. Letter from General Douglas MacArthur to Mrs. Kay Kozlowski 5th March 1951. This image is from the NARA Library. The link of the letter from Gen. MacArthur came with their news letter of 21 July 2022. I subscribe to the National Archives Catalog catalog@nara.gov and that is where the link came from. And this latest notice sent information and links about the President Truman Library: www.trumanlibraryinstitute.org/

Gen. MacArthur's last peacetime photo Which one is it, you decide? My friend John Duresky bought a copy and found two conflicting news papers claiming to be the latest peacetime pictures of the General, but is different. He said this: So, which one was the last peacetime photo of MacArthur? I picked up this Wirephoto; caption on the back of it is attached below the picture. In newspapers from that time, I find it and the one with Wainwright both claiming to be the last photo. The one I bought was clearly taken indoors. Wirephoto says "Associated Press from US Army Signal Corps", same as the 1942 2 24 article with him alone. The photo of him with Wainwright John John Duresky is the researcher of the writing team of the new book “Relentless Hope: A True Story of War and Survival, by David L. Britt”. I have helped him out with some information and John Duresky is sharing almost all his finds with me. Thank you very much, John. Note from Karl: The San Francisco Examiner, dated the 24th Feb. 1942, has the 2nd Chapter of Bob Considine’s brilliant biography of General Douglas MacArthur, hero of the Battle of the Philippines.

Audie liked Old Mac Zg422. It seems Audie Murphy liked Gen. MacArthur and I know a few more that did, JFK and Bull Halsey, to name a few. Thank you Life Magazine for this image.
