The Patton family continued the tradition of legendary patriotism. I thought you might also enjoy these two little items about General Patton and his son, also General George Patton during 1943 and 1974 respectively. Source: The Story of the American Flag.

June 13, 1943 - General Patton, informed by the King of England (visiting in North Africa) that General Alexander had said: “That the American soldiers would soon be the best soldiers in the world. Patton responds: “I do not like to disagree with General Alexander, but at present, the American soldiers are the best soldiers in the world and will take on any soldier of any country at any time.”

1974 - The mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts requests troops from General George S. Patton’s command to reenact George Washington’s commission ceremony. Patton offers Green Berets; the mayor refuses, but later agrees. At the ceremony, a hippie calls a Green Beret Sgt. Major (in formation) a “Baby Killer” and pushes a flower in his face. With Patton’s permission, the soldier speaks just a few words (added by me- fill in the blanks, but the actual words are on record). The hippie hurriedly vanishes; the ceremony continues uninterrupted.

Patton's entire Speech to the Troops in England is posted HERE. It's well worth reading.
