JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri National Guard will hold a ceremony on Friday, June 6, 2025, to dedicate the Moberly Armory in honor of General Omar N. Bradley.
Born in Clark, Missouri, in 1893, General Bradley earned the nickname “the soldier’s general” for his compassionate and effective leadership. He played a pivotal role in World War II, commanding the First U.S. Army during the D-Day invasion and later leading the 12th Army Group – the largest American formation ever to operate under a single commander. Following the war, Bradley became the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and was promoted to the rank of five-star general, solidifying his place as one of America’s most distinguished military leaders.
The ceremony is taking place at the National Guard Armory in Moberly, Missouri at 1:00 pm on Friday, June 6, 2025. Address is 310 E. McKinsey Street, Moberly, MO.
