The son of an American Civil War hero, MacArthur served as chief U.S. military adviser to the Philippines before World War II. In this photo provided by the U.S. Army, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, center, is accompanied by his officers and Sergio Osmena, president of the Philippines in exile, extreme left, as he wades ashore during landing operations at Leyte, Philippines, Oct. 20, 1944, after U.S. forces recaptured the beach of the Japanese-occupied island.
