Daddy was a combat veteran of WWII. He hated Eisenhower until the day he died and he lived to be 90. He disliked him during the war and as a president.
I guess my Father was a bit of an eccentric because he liked Montgomery and Patton. He said Montgomery was a fine Christian man. I know that Montgomery is not popular now.
Did he serve with Patton? Knew a few Patton boys who worshiped him. One is still living, mid 90’s now and still sharp as a tack. Says Patton would walk on water and all his men would follow him (walking on water.)
