5-Star Generals Commemorative Coin Program - 3 Coin Set

First showing on youtube of the 5-Star Generals Commemorative coins! Memorializing five of the greatest leaders of our time: George Marshall, Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower, Henry "Hap" Arnold and Omar Bradley. These men are the only World War II 5-Star Generals and each is an alumnus of the United States Army Command and General Staff College.
