General Douglas MacArthur made the famous statement, "I shall return", as a promise to the Philippine people that he would be back to retake the Islands after being overpowered by the Japanese in 1941. He made good on this promise by assembling a huge force from his base in Australia, then coming back to completely destroy the Japanese forces in 1944-1945.
