Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States Army Command and General Staff 
        College, founded in 1881, has in its many evolutionary forms, 
        served this country consistently and well for 127 years.
            (2) The Command and General Staff College has played a 
        decisive role in the education and training of officers, 
        particularly in their field grade years of service, in times of 
        war and peace, since its establishment.
            (3) The Command and General Staff College has had a 
        salutatory effect on many fields of battle by providing its 
        officer student bodies the necessary skills of battle 
        management, leadership development, and the most modern and 
        effective command and staff action procedures, all of which 
        have been key to this Nations' success in its many conflicts 
        which, thereby, have preserved its freedoms and way of life.
            (4) The Command and General Staff College, the Nations' 
        oldest military staff college, does not have a commemorative 
        coin cast in celebrating its long and honorable history, 
        displaying its heritage, and serving as a reminder to the 
        holder of such coins the service to the Nation its graduates 
        have provided in war and peace.
            (5) The United States Army Command and General Staff 
        College is the Nation's largest and oldest military staff 
        college, continuing to educate officers from all United States 
        branches of military services, select members of our civil 
        government, and officers from many friendly and allied nations 
        from around the globe. Located in the middle of the American 
        heartland, will continue to serve as a beacon of light to the 
        proposition of intellectual curiosity and professional military 
        excellence in the development of its students, and serve as a 
        link to American citizenry grateful for the sacrifices, some in 
        the fullest measure of duty and devotion to the Nation, made by 
        the graduates of its Command and Staff College.
            (6) The Command and General Staff College Foundation, Inc. 
        (in this Act referred to as the ``Foundation'') is dedicated to 
        promoting excellence in he faculty and students of the United 
        States Army Command and General Staff College. Seeking new ways 
        to educate and remind our citizens regarding the capable and 
        selfless service of our military officers, and to imbue in them 
        a sense of pride in those who bear the burden of military 
        leadership in our Nation's wars and in times of peace.
            (7) The Foundation is a nongovernmental, member-based, and

        Command and General Staff College.
            (8) The Foundation uses funding to provide the Margin of 
        Excellence to the programs and activities of the College in

        officer corps, and the faculty and staff attendant thereto.
            (9) In 2006, the Secretary of the Army accepted the first 
        Foundation gift to the College in support of the Command and 
        General Staff College.

                    (G) In 1947 he was appointed Secretary of State for 
                the United States and his outstanding career as a

                    (H) He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his 
                conception and implementation of the European Recovery

                    (I) General Marshall's service at Ft. Leavenworth 
                included graduation from the United States Army School

                College in 1908, followed by instructor duty at Ft.

            (14) Henry h. arnold, general of the army.--
                    (A) General ``Hap'' Arnold is the only officer in

                of the Army and General of the Air Force.
                    (B) General Arnold, a graduate of West Point in 
                1907, received his pilot training in 1911 from the 
                Wright brothers in Dayton, Ohio.
                    (C) He became one of our Nation's strongest

                include the first delivery of United States mail by

                influenced by his genius.
                    (E) As a result of General Arnold's contributions, 
                massed air power gave a third dimension to battles of 
                World War II, swept the skies of the enemy, and denied 
                him mobility on the ground.
                    (F) One of General Arnold's citations reads in 
                part: ``From conception to execution, General Arnold's

                    (C) In 1944, as Supreme Allied Commander, Allied 
                Expeditionary Force, he was instructed: ``You will 
                enter the continent of Europe, and, in conjunction with 
                other United Nations, undertake operations aimed at the 
                heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed 
                forces.''
                    (D) In accomplishing this mission, he commanded the 
                largest combination of land, sea and air forces in

                elected 34th President of the United States.
                    (G) His service at Ft. Leavenworth was 1917-1918 as 
                a tactical instructor officer for a course for 
                lieutenants and in 1925-1926 as a student at the 
                Command and General Staff College from which he was the 
                honor graduate of his class.

                    (A) Throughout his distinguished military career, 
                General Omar N. Bradley was recognized as an 
                exceptional leader, tactician, and educator.
                    (B) As Commandant of the Infantry School, he 
                developed the officer candidate program through which 
                more than 45,000 combat leaders of World War II were 
                commissioned.
                    (C) During the war, he successfully commanded a 
                division, corps, army, and army group. While commanding

                    (D) His successful career as a field commander
