I am General of the Armies John Joseph Pershing, known for my leadership of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. My colleagues and mentees included renowned World War II generals such as George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar Bradley, Lesley J. McNair, George S. Patton, and Douglas MacArthur. It was my privilege to guide and mentor a generation of exceptional military leaders who would go on to shape the course of history.
