Though the Army has tired many color schemes over the years, in 2010 they went back to Washington’s picks. There have only been 5 five-star generals in the Army? The rank didn’t exist until 1944, and it was only given to five men, including former president, Dwight D. Eisenhower. The ranks were retired in 1981, when the last surviving five-star general, Omar Bradley, died. The Air Force was part of the Army until 1946? The National Security Act of 1947 turned it into its own separate branch of the Armed Forces. *Laker Sports* The softball team lost to Pentwater Friday night.
