A Fatherâs Prayer from Gen. Douglas MacArthur. In June, 1942, General Douglas MacArthur was named National Father of the Year. The honor came just three months after he moved his family to the Philippines to lead the U.S. Pacific campaign of World War II, a level of honor and responsibility realized by few men. His statement in receiving the award truly revealed his heart and priorities.
MacArthur had made remarks critical of Truman, and Truman feared the consequences to civilian control over the military. On April 11, 1951, Harry Truman, the president of the United States, fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur from his post as commander of the U.N. forces in South Korea at the height of the Korean War.
