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. Celebrate the 132nd anniversary of the founding of the College with this 2013 5-Star Generals Three-Coin Proof Set. This set is limited to 10,000 units and includes a proof $5 gold coin, a proof silver dollar and a proof clad half-dollar.
