Omar Nelson Bradley
(
February 12, 1893
– April 8, 1981) was a senior
U.S. Army
field commander in North Africa and Europe during
World War II
, and a
General of the Army
in the
United States Army
. From the
Normandy landings
through the end of the war in Europe, Bradley had command of all U.S. ground forces invading Germany from the west; he ultimately commanded forty-three divisions and 1.3 million men, the largest body of American soldiers ever to serve under a U.S. field commander.
He was the last
five-star
commissioned officer of the United States (a rank historically held by only five men) and was the first general to be selected
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
.
E
arly life and career
Bradley, the son of
schoolteacher
John Smith Bradley
(1868–1908
) and Mary Elizabeth Hubbard (1875–1931), was born into poverty in rural
Randolph County
, near
Clark, Missouri
. He attended country schools where his father taught.
When Omar was 13 his father,
with whom he credited passing on to him a love of books, baseball and shooting, died. His mother moved to
Moberly
and remarried. Bradley graduated from Moberly High School in 1910, an outstanding student and captain of both the baseball and football teams.
Bradley was working as a boiler maker at the Wabash Railroad when he was encouraged by his Sunday school teacher at Central Christian Church in
Moberly
to take the entrance examination for the
U.S. Military Academy
at
West Point, NY
. Bradley had been planning on saving his money to enter the
University of Missouri
in
Columbia
, where he intended to study
law
. He finished second in the West Point placement exams at
Jefferson Barracks Military Post
in
St. Louis
. The first place winner was unable to accept the Congressional appointment, deferring instead to Bradley. While at the academy, Bradley's focus on sports prevented him from excelling academically. He was a baseball star, though, and often played on semi-pro teams for no remuneration (to ensure his eligibility to represent the academy). He was considered one of the most outstanding college players in the nation his junior and senior seasons at West Point, noted as both a power hitter and an outfielder with one of the best arms in his day. While at West Point, Bradley joined the local Masonic Lodge in
Highland Falls, New York
.
Bradley's first wife, Mary Quayle, grew up across the street from him in Moberly. The pair attended Central Christian Church and Moberly High School together. Moberly called Bradley its favorite son and throughout his life Bradley called Moberly his hometown and his favorite city in the world. He was a frequent visitor to Moberly throughout his career, was a member of the Moberly Rotary Club, played near handicap golf regularly at the local course and had a "Bradley pew" at Central Christian Church. When a flag project opened in 2009 in the Moberly cemetery, General Bradley and his first son-in-law and West Point graduate, the late Major Henry Shaw Bukema, were memorialized with flags in their honor from grateful citizens.
