Patton was in distinguished company, the German general Kesselring once described another US division (reserve division from a state neighboring Oklahoma) as the best division he had gone up against, except for the 45th.

I was in the 36th, the unnamed "USdivision (reserve division from a state neighboring Oklahoma)".

Thank you for your service.

I chose not to name the 36th because of the comparison between the two divisions, which I didn't want to make a point of. We're on the same side, you know?
