Biographical History
Epithet: US general
General George C. Marshall had a long and auspicious career in the United States (U.S.) Army and to the United States. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1901 and served his country for most of the rest of his life.
General, U.S. Army.
General of the Army.
George C. Marshall, America's first five-star general, was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, and educated at the Virginia Military Academy. He made a career of the army, serving with distinction in World War I and as one of Pershing's post-war aides. His reputation advanced, culminating with his appointment as Franklin Roosevelt's Army Chief of Staff on the eve of World War II. His vision, diplomacy, and organizational skills were chiefly responsible for building the United States Army, and he helped develop key strategies to ensure allied victory, resulting in his selection as Time magazine's man of the year in 1944. After the war, he served as Secretary of State, and helped set the policies that defined American relations in the cold war era. He was awarded the Nobel Peace prize in 1953 for the Marshall Plan, outlining European economic recovery, the first career soldier to be so honored.
U.S. Army officer and secretary of defense.
George Catlett Marshall (b. Dec. 31, 1880, Uniontown, Pennsylvania-d. Oct. 16, 1959), General of the U.S. Army, was commissioned in the infantry in 1902 after graduating from the Virginia Military Institute. He was staff officer with the First Army, then VIII Corps, in France during World War I; aide to General Pershing; and battalion commander in 15th Infantry in China. He became Chief of Staff, U.S. Army (1939-1945), during World War II. Following resignation from the Army, he was the personal representative of President Truman to mediate peace between the Nationalist and communist Chinese in 1946. He served as Secretary of State from 1947 to 1949, and as Secretary of Defense in 1950 and 1951. The “Marshall Plan” for economic recovery in Europe is named after the General. He was presented a gold medal from the U.S. Congress and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953.
Jay Winston Johns, Jr. was a coal industrialist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who moved to Virginia and became a leader in preserving homes of renowned Virginians. He married Helen Lambert (1881-1964). Johns became blind in the late 1950's.
He and his wife owned "Ash Lawn," Albemarle County, Virginia which had been the home of James Monroe and designed by Thomas Jefferson. Johns was founder of the Lee-Jackson Memorial, Inc., a foundation dedicated to preserving the memory of Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson and the South's part in the Civil War; and a founder of the Virginia Trust for Historic Preservation, an organization whose main purpose was that of purchasing, restoring, and maintaining for the public, homes of renowned men specifically, the Lee-Fendall House in Alexandria, Virginia.
Johns, himself was a strong Democrat and corresponded with and publicly supported all of the prominent Virginia political figures of his time. He was a spirited supporter of the Virginia Military Institute as a member of the Board of Visitors, and as an honorary member of the Alumni Association; a charter member, and later trustee of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; and a member of the Virginia Chapter of the Society of the Cincinnati. He also received an honorary degree from the College of William and Mary in 1967.
