- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: P-30828 GENERAL MACARTHUR One of America’s greatest soldiers in religious setting. At top left, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, who died in Washington, D.C., at 84, is shown in 1951 as he reviewed the annual parade of the Brooklyn Sunday School Union. On that day he greeted some 100,00 children of more than 300 Protestant churches. At top right, the strength of the man is displayed in a portrait taken during his years in Pacific areas. Below, General MacArthur is shown in 1955 when he received an “Award of Merit Extraordinary” from the then Protestant Episcopal Bishop Francis Eric Bloy of Los Angeles. The Episcopalian hero of three great wars was cited for “distinguished service to the church of God as a Christian statesman and soldier.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RBT-4B-64-W)
