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?

In the history of the US military, how many men have held the rank of either 5 star General of the Army or 5 star Fleet Admiral, and who where they? 'There is no such thing as a great man. There are only ordinary men who rise and meet extraordinary challenges.' This quote - or one very similar - was spoken by (i beleive) a World War 2 US Navy Admiral. Can anyone tell me who and possibly give a www location that i can find the exact quote? Paul Revere was only one of two men to ride that famous night and warn that the British were coming. Who was the other? What confederate leaders were executed by the union after the civil war?
