Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I mahi tahi a General Rogers hei hononga ki te tari matua o Walter Krueger's Sixth Army me te whai waahi ki te whakamahere i te whakaekenga ki te whenua o Hapani (Operation Downfall) me tana mahi whai muri. I whakakorea te whakaekenga i muri i te tuku kore o Hapani
i te 15 o Akuhata 1945. Heoi, i whakawhiwhia a Rogers ki te Tohu Whetu Parahi mo tana mahi i te whakamahere i te whakaekenga.
