Soldier and statesman, a powerful yet modest patriot, George Marshall is today an almost forgotten hero. He built the mightiest army in history and commanded Eisenhower, MacArthur and Patton. When victory was won, he bound up the world's wounds with a plan for European recovery that bore his name. The only soldier to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Emmy Award Winner for Best Documentary.

Viewer Review: The Real Meaning and Example of Greatness, Demonstrated through Humility, Love of America and its People, and Obedience to God!
I knew that General Marshall made great contributions to our nation, our people, and to the world. I did not know just how extraordinary and world-changing his contributions were, nor how far ahead of his time he was in his visionary thinking and perspective. But what is most inspiring and humbling is his humanity, his decency, and his great humility. His service to our country and to the world should be commemorated and never forgotten. But just as great as his world-saving contributions, was his example as a human being, who served his fellow man, and who made himself content to accept the roles that God placed him in, even when he desired others, demonstrating that by accepting His will, he also enabled the grand design for his life to be revealed, and the great Destiny planned for him, and for the World, to be revealed...

    I read somewhere that Gen. Marshall had been asked by President Eisenhouwer to attend the coronation of QE2. Seats in the Abbey were tightly controlled and the spouses of many VIP's had to watch from elsewhere. Anyhow, Gen. Marshall entered the Abbey and began the long walk down the nave to his seat. Somewhere along this walk he noticed that the congregation had begun to rise and he looked back to see which 'king or queen' had come in. There was no one in particular ... this tribute was for him. I'm not sure how one handles that! Characteristically, this story was told NOT by Gen. Marshall but by Gen. Bradley. Spontaneous tributes like this often are more 'real' than organized ones and in this case is very fitting.

    Marshall deserves to be remembered among the greatest of men. His name, sense of duty and dedication to the peace and welfare of all humanity are profound examples that any person can aspire to follow with pride. The 20th century is often called the American century. George C. Marshall is in large measure the reason for that belief. Not because he was able to harness the power of the United States in war but even more so in the cause of peace.

When he found out he was getting another administrative position, he showed his temper and got up and started to walk out. He changed his mind and sat down and gave Marshall a sheepish smile. Marshall smiled back. He had faced the same thing in his military career - being punished because of his superior leadership and administrative skills.

    I am related to Marshall and we share a common ancestor around 1750. When I see his official portrait or film clips of him my reaction is "Dad?". In fact my dad was very much like him. He grew up in Mexico and served as a bomber navigator in WWII. I found online an official photo of his crew in front of their B-24 and the expression on my 22 year-old dad's face was classic. I could tell exactly what he was thinking : "Is this really necessary?". He stayed in the Air Force and later became head of the logistics branch at their graduate school in Dayton, Ohio.

    I visited my son in Germany when he was stationed around Ramstein, Germany. We entered this dinner or steak house through doors to a back room restaurant in a small town next to Ramstein. When my hand touched the door handle I thought, this is the same door handle on the hospital my mother worked at. The hospital in the states had been built around the same time as the Marshal Plan rebuilt West Germany. It was a strange feeling when I touch the door handle. And it was just a feeling with no one to say otherwise. I visited East Germany years later and wanted to know how the Soviets rebuilt the area. I learned they didn't. In the museum of Germany I looked for something to show how it was rebuilt. You walk through rooms going through Germany's long history and only in one room was a big wall of photos of what the bombs left after WWII. The next room was the Berlin Wall coming down. It's like from the end of the war til the wall coming down was not part of their history. I learned the Soviets took Germany's resources and factories and moved them to their lands. We should never forget. General Marshal should have his face along with other great people at Mount Rushmore.

    Yes. George C Marshall had two older brothers. one unfortunately died in infancy and the other, Stuart Bradford Marshall, was a graduate from vmi and became a professional chemist and went into business and the general superintendent of aluminum company of america (ALCOA) UNFORTUNATELY, General Marshall and his brother did not get along as young men and his words seemingly did INSPIRE George Marshall to become better especially at the Virgnia Military Institute.

    Grew up a mile away from Officer's Row in Vancouver, Washington. I've toured his home numerous times. Their was an enormous military 🪖 base here back in WWII. I grew up in a Housing Authority neighborhood that was formally housing for troops and their families. It's a mile away, that's how big this base was. George C. Marshall Elementary School was a five minute walk away. They bulldozed in just last summer. You can still tour the Generals house as well as countless other houses of officer's. All the old barracks were demolished in 2018 wo only the officer's houses remain and are protected. Check it out if you're even in the Portland, Oregon area. You can also see Fort Vancouver as it is literally right a 10-15 minute walk away.

    When I first heard that the five-star US General George Marshall was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania as I read the story of him as the 1953 Nobel Laureate for his creation of Marshal Plan to rebuild Europe and Japan following the end of World War II. I have dedicated to honor him. In my real backgrounds of my life, I was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania in year of 1951 then to grow up in most of my life. Well I have acknowledged about the history of Uniontown, Pennsylvania in timeline as I read several books. My father was in US Army in Europe for five years during World War II. My late close paternal uncle who was a family physician with his Ph.D. and M.D. was in US Navy for 2 years during World War II and for 6 years during Korean War (1950-1953) and in military service until he was honorably discharged from US Navy in year of 1956. And then my younger late paternal uncle was in the US airman for 5 years during World War II. Aftermath the US Air Force as the new military force was established in September 1946. As the teen ager at my age of 15, I have had learned a lot of war stories from my father and my 2 uncles as I listened to them so there. Now I reside in the area of Rochester, New York as I am over 70 age as I am retired.

(i get it if marshall was in the army today he would've grown up under different settings wouldn't even be the same person) but let's just say take marhsall the personality and everything but give him 21st century knowledge of current events and military affairs.

    @@flexabu that's for sure. Read about the 1914 Maneuvers in the Philippines. Marshall was a junior staff level officer, and through a strange series of events (due to an alcoholic Colonel) ended up commanding a 5,000 strong force with full operational control. Can you imagine Colonels in 1914 taking orders from a 1st Lt.? One of his superior officers (who took orders from Marshall during the exercises) later stated that "there are not five officers in the Army as well qualified as Marshall to command a Division in the field". One other superior officer wrote that Marshall was the best leader of large bodies of troops in the entire American Army.

I was confused when I read the commands he held before becoming the 5 Star General we know today. I thought that (Conservation Corps) was a typo. It made no sense. Nothing seemed familiar. And it's because he's so old. None of the unit creast and names had been developed yet. (The heritage symbols they use today) And this civilian work-force-thing was another chapter of his life I didn't understand, until watching this documentary. Thank you for uploading this.

    My only gripe with Marshall is that supposedly he wanted to disband the USMC. As a Marine, of course that is heresy. As I look at it more objectively, it may be a reaction to him wanting to unify the Services and he saw the Marines as competitors to the Army as war fighters. It may also been a reaction to defund (in part) the US Navy.

    *There's a tone to this documentary, a Frequency if you will, that feels so "harmony". It reminds me of the 1990's when life seemed normal. Obviously it isn't the war subject, Marshall defined war precisely, I feel it has to do with Marshall having had an intense knowing of center, fully managed his Lower Mind aka Ego Mind, thus was living through his Higher Mind where Wisdom resides. It also has a Mature Quality in the Production of the Documentary.* There use to be a Standard for Social Behavior, in terms of Communicating with others, and the subject of one carting themselves with a genuine positive, mature, and polite manner, is never and will never be dated or out if fashion. "Allowing by Participating" in the News Media fostered drama, the judgemental and the chronic accusatory attitude may be deemed ok by the Owners of Media for their purpose and profit goals, but realized Mature Minded Adults dont support it. Many are awakening and realizing, many already have, and vast numbers are practicing the "Universal Law of Attraction", *perhaps we are achieving a new normal. That's a most desirable thought.*
