Telegram from Chief of Staff, U.S. Army and Army Air Corps
Gen. George C. Marshall
to Major Gen. Rose's widow on April 2, 1945

  As with the Eisenhower telegram, this is the first ever public display of the Marshall telegram sent to Mrs. Virginia Rose at her home in Denver, Colorado, three days after Gen. Rose was killed outside of Paderborn. Our appreciation for its release in November, 2004, goes to the General's older son, Marine Corps Colonel Maurice Rose (Ret), and to research historian Don R. Marsh (2AD/3AD WWII veteran).
