ALL ABOUT GENERAL OF THE ARMY OMAR BRADLEY: A local public schools executive and a nationally-prominent member of the U.S. House of Representatives offered moti...vational, self-reflective inspiration in remarks to The Friends of General Bradley events at the Moberly Library and Central Christian Church Monday, February 12. Dr. Matt S. Miller, superintendent of the Moberly School District, spoke of his family's rise from abject poverty in rural Missouri thanks to public education. Miller associated his family's story with that of an orphaned, impoverished Bradley growing up in Moberly 100 years ago. The Bradleys and Millers both utilized public education as the springboard to career and personal success, the educator noted. Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler (R-Harrisonville) drew from the lessons of General Bradley's ascension from poverty and the leap from a bleak future by capitalizing on his intellectual prowess and athletic skills within a faith-based society. Readers are leaders, she suggested, building on the word picture of a young Bradley sprawled on the hardwood floors of the 115-year-old Moberly library absorbed in books of history, sports and biography en route to becoming the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and last five-star general officer in the U.S. military. The two were the featured speakers at the dedication of a new Bradley museum at the Moberly Library and a five-course luncheon catered by Jeff and Crystal Wilkey that followed at Central Christian Church. Bradley and his family were lifelong members of Central Christian. It was in the 125-year-old church the future general received his Sunday School Superintendent John Cruson's advice to pursue an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. That decision proved Bradley's escape hatch from his life as a 13-cents-an-hour, 60-hours-per-week laborer at the Wabash Railroad boiler works after graduating high school in 1910.
