One of the most complicated military men of all time, General George Smith Patton, Jr. was born November 11, 1885 in San Gabriel, California. He was known for carrying pistols with ivory handles and his intemperate manner, and is regarded as one of the most successful United States field commanders of any war. He continually strove to train his troops to the highest standard of excellence.

I met the woman who put together his uniform when I was at Fort Benning. I also drove his son from Logan Airport to Fort Devens back in the early 70's. He did not talk much. Finally, his grandson came to an event in our home town. He was a retired Air Force 06.
