Its not Ridgeway or James A. van Fleet so it has to be MacArthur and given the date that Truman removed him this would be winter 50-51.

Thank you Airscrew! I was looking at your links and wanted to see the caption for the photo.  While Smith was certainly not in contention, I was curious to see more photos of the other individual pictured with him, General Almond.  While looking at Google images of General Almond, I came across this:



I'm almost 100% certain that General Lemuel Shepherd is the person I'm looking for.  Here's another:



The bags under the eyes, the nose to mouth lines, the ears, the hair.  When I post the photo I have later you'll be able to see a better profile that matches the orignal pic I posted.  He's not wearing a hat in my photo.

Others, please feel free to chime in if you agree or disagree.  I'm pretty sure it's been nailed.

Thanks again Airscrew!  :salute :rock

Its MacArthur. I asked someone that was in Korea and familiar with his chain of command and he said "It could only be MacArthur"

It can't be MacArthur.

"The caption reads:

1952: President Dwight Eisenhower (1890 - 1969) with Generals Mark Clark (1896 - 1984) and James Van Fleet (left) in Korea. (Photo by MPI/Getty Images)"


MacArthur was relieved by Eisenhower's predecessor, President Truman on April 11th 1951.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
