Additional Description: As the battles raged, General Marshall insisted that the fighting men of World War II receive the best possible care and regularly inquired about soldiers in remote locations. He worried most about the beleaguered infantrymen. He created the Women's Army Corps (WAC) and directed that Americans of Japanese and African descent serve in combat. "The American people...like and trust George Marshall," Time Magazine said. "The secret is American democracy is the stuff Marshall is made of."
