Seventy years ago, the Victor II Attack Group of the Americal Division supported by the Seventh Fleet's Task Force 74 with 59 ships appeared off the coast of Talisay 6 kilometers from Cebu City for the much-awaited Liberation of Cebu. The Victor II Attack Group was formed in Tacloban City after the Leyte invasion and this was led by Maj. Gen. William "Hap" Arnold with the 132nd Infantry and some 14,000 US soldiers led by Col. Claude M. McQuarrie.
