Question - 369

Where is this located? What occasion does this commemorate?

Answer: This is the memorial commemorating Douglas MacArthur's landing in Leyte Island, Philippines. A famous photograph of the event can be seen here. On returning to fulfill his famous vow, he declared "I have returned". Hirak, Karthik, P, Anand and Krithi got it. Well done.
