The Organizer of Victory: George C. Marshall
Monday, 15 April, 2019

The five-star General George C. Marshall organized the largest military expansion in U.S. history. He served as Chief of Staff during World War II and coordinated Allied Operations in Europe and the Pacific, and Churchill later called Marshall the organizer of victory. After the war Marshall received the Nobel Peace Prize for his ambitious plan to rebuild the war-torn countries of Western Europe. George C. Marshall was born in 1880 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He is buried in Section 7 of Arlington National Cemetery.
