Patton.Patton was a genuine war hero in the fight against the Nazis. The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his. If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. Perhaps Patton’s most famous action came the next month, with the Battle of the Bulge.

Patton again returned to combat in August 1944, when the Third Army was activated.Find service information, send flowers, and leave memories and thoughts in the Guestbook for your loved one.
