You had one: George Patton.

I like to think that, somewhere out there in the Iraqi Desert, there sleeps tonite the next George Patton beside his or her Abrams tank. And tonite he/she dreams of his/her chance to earn his/her spurs and take the battle to the enemy: to stop digging in but to keep moving forward, ever forward.

He/she probably has a mouth like a sewer that should never kiss his/her Mom without using Listerine. And the courage of an enraged grizzly bear, with manners to match.

Somewhere out there, in that vast Iraqi or Afghanistani desert, there lives amongst this next Greatest Generation our next George Patton, our next Alexander the Great.

God Bless our Troops.

Yours ‘til Victory.
