# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, Marshall graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1901 and took a commission in the Infantry, serving in the Philippines during the Philippine–American War and rising through staff schools where he graduated first. He spent World War I planning American operations in France, including the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, then worked his way through interwar assignments—aide to Pershing, instructor, a stint modernizing the Infantry School's methods in 1927. When war returned in 1939 he became Chief of Staff and built the largest military expansion in U.S. history, coordinating Allied operations in both theaters until the surrender in 1945. Truman sent him to China to broker peace between Chiang Kai-shek and Mao; the mission failed. As Secretary of State he designed the economic reconstruction of Europe, the plan that bore his name, and in 1953 received the Nobel. He died in 1959 and was buried at Arlington.
