"In all 5 Army generals, four Navy admirals, and one Air Force general have held this rank. The Army's five star generals were General George C. Marshall, General Douglas MacArthur, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Henry Arnold and General Omar N. Bradley. The Navy's five-star fleet admirals were Admiral William D. Leahy, Admiral Ernest J. King, Admiral Chester Nimitz, and Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey. And General Henry Arnold was the Air Force's five star general.
Who beats a five star general? A General of the Armies of the United States -- the highest military rank of all time, hands down. To date, only George Washington and John J. Pershing have held this position. " ( Copied from somone smarter than I, whose answer pooped up on google search.)

I was wondering when reading the OP when Pershing was going to get a coin.
Any bets that there'll be a law for a commemorative for the Fleet Admirals the following year?

Geeze..............now we do 132nd year celebrations??
All issued in one year....2013
That will be a lot of gold $5 pieces, silver dollars and clad halves to cram down collectors throats in just 12 months.
The way things are going we may see some low mintages for any of the 15 coins.

This! Question of the day!
