SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Five-Star Generals Commemorative 
Coin Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the United States Army Command and General Staff 
        College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas (in this Act referred to as 
        the ``CGSC'') has, in its many evolutionary forms, served this 
        Nation consistently and well for 127 years, since its founding 
        in 1881;
            (2) the CGSC 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 CGSC 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 Nation's success in its many 
        conflicts which, thereby, have preserved its freedoms and way 
        of life;
            (4) the CGSC 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 
        of the service to the Nation its graduates have provided in war 
        and peace;
            (5) the CGSC is the Nation's largest and oldest military 
        staff college, and continues to educate officers of all 
        branches of the United States Armed Forces, select members of 
        civilian government, and officers from many friendly and allied 
        nations from around the globe;
            (6) located squarely in the American heartland, the CGSC 
        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 its 
        graduates;
            (7) the United States Army Command and General Staff 
        College Foundation, Inc. (in this Act referred to as the 
        ``Foundation'') is dedicated to promoting excellence in the 
        faculty and students of the CGSC, and to seek new ways to 
        educate and remind citizens of the capable and selfless service 
        of United States military officers, and to imbue in them a 
        sense of pride in those who bear the burden of military 
        leadership in the Nation's wars and in times of peace;
            (8) the Foundation is a nongovernmental, member-based, and 
        publicly supported nonprofit organization that is entirely 
        dependent on funds from members, donations, and grants for its 
        functions and supports exclusively the CGSC;
            (9) the Foundation uses funding to provide the Margin of 
        Excellence to the programs and activities of the CGSC in 
        support of the educational needs of the general officer corps 
        of the Armed Forces, and the faculty and staff attendant 
        thereto;
            (10) in 2006, the Secretary of the Army accepted the first 
        Foundation gift in support of the CGSC;
            (11) the Foundation is actively engaged in the initial 
        stages of its first capital campaign to support the CGSC;
