About Me
Paragraph 1 I am George Marshall. I was born on December 31, 1880 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. I grew up the youngest of three siblings. I didn’t do well in school and had a tendency to cause trouble. So, my parents were disappointed in me. In 1897 I attended Virginia Military Institute. I struggled at first but I really wanted to succeed. At the end of my first year I was doing great. I graduated in 1901.

Paragraph 2 I served The United States of America from 1902-1951. In 1902 I married Lily Carter Coles. Then, I went to the Philippines for eighteen months. After this I went back to school. In 1907 I graduated from the Infantry-Cavalry School at Fort Leavenworth. In 1908 I graduated from Act Staff College. in 1917 I was chosen to be the Chief of Operations with the first division that was sent to France in World War I. When I was in France I served under John J. Pershing from 1919 to 1924. I also planned attacks like Aisne-Marne and Meuse-Argonne.

Paragraph 3 I remained active instructing in army colleges until 1938. In 1939 I was named Chief of Staff by President Roosevelt. In 1944 I was also named General of the Army. This was during World War II. When the war ended in 1945, I started taking on many different positions in the United States Government. In 1947 I became Secretary of State and in 1950 I became Secretary of Defense. AIso in 1947, while speaking at Harvard University I talked of an economic plan to rebuild Europe. It is now called “The Marshall Plan”. I received The Nobel Peace Prize for this plan in 1953.
