| A 1940 pioneer graduate of the Philippine Military Academy, which was patterned after West Point by two great Americans -- Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower -- Alcaraz is an authentic war hero. He was promoted on the spot and decorated personally by General MacArthur in Corregidor for heroism and gallantry in action in January 1942. He had shot down three Japanese dive bombers as Captain of a zig-zagging "Q" (torpedo) Boat in Manila Bay facing Bataan and Corregidor. As a result, the war planes failed to bomb their shore objectives. Quoted from "Anthology of Letters and Speeches of Commodore Alcaraz, Exponent of Seapower." By Ernesto O. Rodriguez Orange, CA April 15, 1999 World War II Journal entries May 1942 Jun 1942 Jul 1942 Aug 1942 Sep 1942 Oct 1942 Nov 1942 Dec 1942 Jan 1943 Feb 1943 World War II Journal entries May 1941, Jun 1941, Jul 1941, Aug 1941, Sep 1941, Oct 1941, Nov 1941, Dec 1941, Jan 1942, Feb 1942, Mar 1942, |
