#IDedicateThisWeekTo George C. Marshall, American statesman and soldier, who rose through the U.S. Army to become Chief of Staff under presidents Roosevelt &Truman, then served as Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense under Truman.
George Marshall
Winston Churchill lauded George Marshall as the "organizer of victory" in World War II.
As Sec’y of State from ‘47-‘49 Marshall advocated rebuilding Europe, a program that became known as the Marshall Plan, leading to award of the 1953 Nobel Peace Prize.
The Marshall Plan revitalized Western Europe following the devastation of WW 2. George Marshall’s vision of a foundation for lasting peace and prosperity became reality, lasting 70 years.
Trump’s Nationalism threatens to deconstruct that institution of Western Liberal Democracy.
It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace.

George Marshall
Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be...to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist.
