General George Patton’s son was the graduation speaker for my Armor Officer Basic Course at Fort Knox. Since Patton is my forever more hero military commander, it was awesome to sit for a few minutes in the presence of his son.
I went to AOBC in ‘91. Creighton Abrams’ grandson was one of our SGL’s.
And I was in charge of the ceremony and narrated MG George Patton III’s retirement at Fort Knox KY.
Patton’s son was a jerk looking for spot in the shadow of his old man. Showboat and screamer. Ikmow cuz he screamed at me.
And I served as captains with Wesley Clark, who turned into a jerk later in life, eh?
A friend’s dad was at Bastiogne (sp) Christmas, 1944, when General Patton’s broke through German lines. This man idolizes G. Patton.
