I've never seen or heard Patton actually giving a speech before. This is a very interesting piece, narrated by Ronald Reagan. It seems very appropriate for Memorial Day

I’ve come to dislike the movie Patton as it caricatures a great American as a prima donna.

Read Patton’s book War As I Knew IT, demonstrates him as an incredibly organized, logical, methodical war maker.

As a young man, I read a 2 volume biography of George S. Patton. It was highly motivational. He grew up in Pasadena, not too far from where I was raised.
