Dwight D. Eisenhower
The class the stars fell on is an expression used to describe the United States Military Academy Class of 1915. In the United States Army, the insignia reserved for generals is one or more stars. Of the 164 graduates that year, 59 (36%) attained the rank of general, the most of any class in the history of the United States Military Academy, hence the expression. Two reached the five-star rank of General of the Army. There were also 2 four-star generals, 7 three-star lieutenant generals, 24 two-star major generals and 24 one-star brigadier generals. Dwight D. Eisenhower (pictured), one of the five-star generals, went on to become the 34th President of the United States. (Full list...)
