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.

The story of Eisenhower and Marshall: Ike reported to him to get his next assignment. He was anxious to get combat responsibilities. 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.

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.

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.

@@flexabu true. with up or out i believe marshall would definitely make rank in appropriate time periods. like definitely if he served 20 years i could see him make colonel at the bare minimum. every general would be rushing to get a guy like marshall on their staff. since officers like him would get glowing reviews from his superiors and flag officers he would ace any general board and get his first star before he turned 45 and easily 4 star rank by the time he turned 50. mabe even beforhe he turns 50.

Without a doubt General Marshall belongs in the Pantheon of great Americans. When he was made they broke the mold.

17:29 "FDR created the Conservation Corps under direction of by US Federal Army", THAT's what that was! 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. It cleared things up.

In my opinion, General Marshall is the main reason that there are different words for leader and politician.

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.

VMI 's proud son. I wonder if during his early years leading up to WW1 he was looked over for promotions because he wasn't a West Point man ? Or was it purely because of the seniority culture? This was an excellent documentary. During his 50 years of service he always served his superiors with respect. What the hell is wrong with today's politicians. They are not true patriotic leaders like Gen George C. Marshall. ✝️☮️✌️💔

*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.*

History worth remembering, Gen Marshall, and his Higher Minded Nature. Mature, the real Adult behaviors. 🏆 ...and Truman, a President that cared more about the Peace and People than his own Ego, allowing Marshall the opportunity for "the Plan". To understand the "Palestine Delima", one must go back to the: (Federal Reserve Bank Corporation/Fed Reserve Act and *the Balfour Declaration"* + WWI) Marshall had to know.
