On this date I hereby pledge myself that unless ordered by higher authority to do so, I will not move my headquarters to the south, in the event that the fall of Corregidor Is imminent, but will, if necessary, surrender myself with my troops. No other course of action would be honorable.
Jonathan M. Wainwright IV
(August 23, 1883 – September 2, 1953), Lt. Gen., USA. Commander of USFIP.
