General Omar Nelson Bradley

1893-1981

We are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind or whether to act, and in acting, to live.

General Omar N. Bradley

 

Known as the "GI general' due to his concern for the welfare of ordinary soldiers, he earned a sterling reputation for his handling of large forces in battle.

Bradley was from Clark, Missouri. His father had died when he was 14, and his mother, a seamstress, could barely feed him. Getting into West Point was a triumph for Bradley. He sat out World War I in the States, but advanced rapidly during World War II to become the highest-ranking American commander after Eisenhower.  Bradley led the long-awaited American assault on D-Day and assumed command of 1.3 million troops, the largest combat force in military history.

In 1949 he became the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1953.  During that time, he became the last 5-star general, and the only 5-star general besides Dwight D. Eisenhower.
