... Command and General Staff School, at Fort Benning, Georgia, in 1931?

Since the C&GS School is located at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, and has been for quite some time (Eisenhower attended and graduated from the school at Leavenworth in the 1920s), this statement either needs to be substantiated or corrected.

Biography on Maj. Gen. Norman D. Cota...

There is a biography on Norman Cota named "Division Commander" by Robert A. Miller C. 1989 The Reprint Co., Publishers, Spartanburg, So. Carolina USA. ISBN:0-87152-438-4

Though there is much information on Gen. Cota from other sources, This Biography gives a better unstanding the life of Gen. Cota previous or since?

With the present topical interest for a movement by veterans for Gen. Cota to receive a belated MOH, and revealed facts of his deeper involvement with military operations (Before and after D-Day during WWII), a little known personnna/character of him is now emerging to the surface.

In my personal inquire about ths belated MOH movement... It was refered to Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. "Buck" McKeon of California.

During WWII, If Gen. Cota's denial for a MOH was politically motivated due to his personal close association (Roosevelt cousin connection) to Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr.(III) and "Cousin Ted's" untimely death during the D-Day Operations toward the later MOH granting, in my opinion is a seperate issue all together. Over time and memorial, Gen. Cota's common sense and bravery on the battle field is obvious, and should be deemed today on his historical merits and integrity as a military tactician and genius.
