General Patton is buried in Luxembourg. They moved his grave to a different location because of the heavy traffic. Mrs. Patton’s ashes were scattered over his grave by family members.

You are both correct. Apparently I was confused since his body was moved from its original resting place to another section of the cemetery.

As a side note, I find it touching that so many Luxembourgers still revere the men who lie under that sod, to the degree that they consider it their sacred honor to decorate the graves on memorable occasions. I only hope that we are as diligent in our reverence.
