mac landed on oct 20th 1944 on red beach 2 in the 24th infantry division sector. the beach was still hot when mac came ashore. the u.s. army infantry motto "follow me" was coined that day when col. red newman came ashore and saw his 34th infantry regiment stuck on the beach under heavy jap fire. col newman stood up in the face of the jap defenders and said get up men, get your asses moving,"FOLLOW ME" and lead his men forward to victory. col newman was badly wounded about ten days later in the leyte valley.the famous photo of mac wading ashore thru the surf was the result of a navy beach commander telling the sw pacific commander he did not have room for mac's boat to land on his beach and to wait his turn, so mac walked ashore.

Re: the 34th Infantry Regiment and Macarthur's landing at Red Beach, Leyte. My daughter and I are the biographers of an officer who landed there just before Macartur came ashore. One note of interest might be that a Pvt. landed that day who would become a great war hero, eventually being given the Medal of Honor. The reason this might be of interest is that his name was: Pvt. Harold Moon! Perhaps this inquiry is from a relative or name sake. I can provide some information if desired.
