General James Stewart?

You mean Jimmy Stewart, as in It's a Wonderful Life?

I did not know he was a "General".

I thought that, at age 33, he enlisted as private and rose to colonel in the Air Force, leading one thousand plane strikes against Germany, and that he won the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
