Free From the Shackles. Free From the Shackles. Jubilant Filipinos swarm over Luzon's beaches to welcome a Coast Guardsman (foreground), one of the first American liberators to land on Jan. 9. Joy is unbounded among the natives as they pour forth to hail the forces who struck the Jap shackles and returned them from bondage. This picture was made a few hours after the amphibious landings on Lingayen Gulf beachheads which quickly drove the Japs inland and which set up the march on Manila.
