The Battle of Luzon allowed GEN MacArthur to make good on his promise to return to the Philippines in 1945. This month we'll take a look back on that battle as our 75 year commemoration of World War II continues. Also this month, a bit of history that never was, as we take a brief glance at one of the bloodiest battles that the U.S. avoided in World War II: Operation Downfall - the invasion of the Japanese home islands.
