Hi Mr. deadpresidents! I'm in high school and have to write a paper about a person from WW2 but want to choose someone different because I know everyone will pick FDR or Churchill or Hitler, any suggestions? thank you!
In my opinion, the person who never gets enough credit is General George C. Marshall, who was the U.S. Army Chief of Staff during World War II and remembered as the "organizer of victory." Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, de Gaulle, Truman, Eisenhower, and many others considered General Marshall to be the greatest man they ever knew. Stalin once said "I would trust General Marshall with my life." STALIN said that! About an American General! Stalin didn't even trust his children! Marshall was so indispensable to FDR that, instead of appointing him to command the Supreme Allied forces in Europe, the President kept Marshall in the United States to be the overall organizer of the immense logistical challenges required to fight a true world war. And, after being one of the most important reasons for the Allied military victory during the war, Marshall ended up earning a Nobel Peace Prize following the war for his Marshall Plan relief work to help rebuild Europe. He is one of the great Americans in our history -- there should be a national monument honoring him in Washington.
If you want to really pick someone out of left field, I've always been fascinating by King Haakon VII of Norway. His contribution wasn't nearly as active or vital as General Marshall's (or pretty much any of the major figures of World War II). But his refusal to accept the puppet regime installed in Norway when the Nazis occupied his country turned him into a very important symbol that the Norwegian resistance used as a foundation against the Nazis. When King Haakon refused to recognize Quisling (who was such a tool of the Nazis that his name has become synonymous with puppet rulers), he offered to abdicate if that was what the true government of Norway wished, but they supported him. The Nazis were determined to capture the King and the royal family, so they had to form a government-in-exile in England, but the Norwegian people rallied around him and began their resistance. Even the King's "H7" monogram became a symbol of the resistance. There's a good Norwegian-language movie called The King's Choice about his story, which is actually available on YouTube right now for free with ads.

“Ash Dreaming”
People very often ask me to paint portraits of pets who have passed away. And I truly understand this wish — to keep a beloved animal not only in your heart, but also close to you, as a warm reminder on the wall, as part of your home and memories.I really love painting animals. Maybe because they always carry so much sincerity, personality, and quietness within them.Two years ago, when my own dog passed away at the age of 16, I painted a piece for myself too. I placed him in an apple garden where we used to walk before he became ill. We played ball there, I could let him off the leash, and he would happily run through the grass. It was his happy place. And mine too.That is how this painting of Ash appeared. Thankfully, Ash is alive and doing well. But he is already a very senior cat, and I asked to place him in a world filled with flowers and endless sky. A quiet, peaceful place full of sunlight, butterflies, and warm grass.I think it fits his personality perfectly. Ash is calm, gentle, and wonderfully lazy. This daisy field feels like a little paradise made especially for him.I truly hope Ash will live for many, many more years, and this painting will simply become a beautiful decoration in the home and a reminder of how deeply he is loved 🖤
