I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

The George C. Marshall Foundation, located in Lexington, Virginia, is a library, archive, and museum dedicated to honor the memory and work of George Catlett Marshall. The Foundation opened in 1964 and is housed in its own facility on the campus of the Virginia Military Institute. The scope of the works held in the Foundation's library and vault cover topics of United States military & diplomatic history between the years of George Marshall's career as a military officer and public servant, roughly 1900-1960. The library contains a temperature and humidity controlled government security vault.
Along with sorted paper collections, the library contains over 23,000 manuscripts, two million documents from the National Archives and Records Administration, hundreds of era maps, 700 posters from all countries involved in both World Wars, films, and over 200 oral histories.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
