Dreams Of Things That Were…

"The shadows are lengthening for me. The twilight is here. My days of old have vanished tone and tint; they have gone glimmering through the dreams of things that were."

- Address by General of the Army Douglas MacArthur to the Corps of Cadets accepting the Thayer Award, May 12, 1962.
