It should be mentioned that Lieutenant General George Washington was appointed the only 6 star General in the Army. Washington was promoted posthumously to 6 star general by Congress in 1976. The resolution reads 'it's considered fitting and proper that no officer of the US Army should outrank Lieutenant General George Washington.' May 08 02, 6:27 AM

During the American Civil War I believe that only two men held the simultaneous ranks of General and Admiral (one Union and one Confederate) and they may have been the only two in US military history to hold simultaneous army and navy ranks. Who were these two men? Where was Star Trek's Star Fleet Academy located? Who was the star of 'Have Gun, Will Travel?' Who was the first Australian recording star to have a number on hit in the U.S.?
