Virgilios story had to be told. The time had come when Virgilio Gonzales just had to tell his story. It could wait no longer. The time had not softened the memories of his youth, when the Japanese occupied the Philippines, his native country, during World War II. The story, as all powerful stories, had to come out into woods that would last. And so the now 80-year-old Danbury resident sat down down to write. It took four years to complete and publish Waiting for General MacArthur. Virgilio can now hold the soft-cover book in his hands. I, for one, am glad he sat down fours years ago to finally tell his story. - Jacqueline Smith, manging editor of the News-Times, Danbury, Connecticut.
My dream of freedom and better opportunity for my family came true. America is still the land of opportunity and freedom. I remember when the Philippines was still a commonwealth of the United States, and I was in grade school, we sang "The Star Spangled Banner" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee." We did not come here on the Mayflower, but America has become our adopted country. Let freedom ring! "My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where my father died! Land of the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountain side, Let freedom ring!"
