George C. Marshall - Peacemaker

Although General George. C. Marshall was a soldier, his number one LOYALTY was to the goal of peace. He helped to win World War II, and he wanted to prevent World War III. He came up with a plan to help feed and house the victims of that long war. Because the Marshall Plan helped millions of people have better lives, the General was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize. By being loyal to the cause for peace, he made the world a safer place.

Quotes:

"When a thing is done, it's done. Don't look back. Look forward to your next objective."

"If man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most revolutionary reversal of his record we have ever known."

"Morale is the state of mind. It is steadfastness and courage and hope. It is confidence and zeal and loyalty. It is elan, esprit de corps and determination."

Dec 31, 1880 - Oct 16, 1959

Virtue: Loyalty
