Gen. George Marshall ll was a quintessential team player. Military historians and his biographers agree that unlike most of the high-ranking generals who shaped America’s destiny, he gave of himself unselfishly--a rare trait in any age.
 
Marshall was a team player, and his “multi-service efforts in Washington resulted in successful combined operations in Europe and the Pacific (especially amphibious landings and tactical and strategic air support),” says Edward H. Bonekemper, lll, military historian, author and adjunct lecturer of U.S. military history at Muhlenberg College.
 
“FDR, Marshall, Ike and Nimitz all were team players who took charge and assumed responsibility for their actions, while spelling out sacrifices the American people would have to make,” according to Bonekemper.

"Nearly every great advance in science arises from a crisis in the old theory, through an endeavor to find a way out of the difficulties created. We must examine old ideas, old theories, although they belong to the past, for this is the only way to understand the importance of the new ones and the extent of their validity."
- Albert Einstein
