Yes, see my post:

As part of the bicentennial celebration, George Washington was, 177 years after his death, permanently made senior to all other US generals/admirals, with the title general of the armies, effective on 4 July 1976. The appointment stated he was to have “rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present.”
