I wanted to shout out - "Happy Father's Day" to all Daddies!
General Douglas MacArthur
1942 National Father’s Day Award Speech
Nothing has touched me more deeply than this honor given to me by the National Fathers Day Committee. By profession I am a soldier and take great pride in that fact, but I am prouder, infinitely prouder, to be a father. A soldier destroys in order to build. A father only builds, never destroys. The one has the potentialities of death. The other embodies creation and life. And while the hoards of death are mighty, the battalions of life are mightier still. It is my hope that my son when I am gone will remember me not from the battle but in the home.
