Yes that was my point... Maybe my post was written poorly. My wife's dad was in the Army for 28 years. He was a combat veteran in both WWII and Korea and served stateside during Vietnam. When we tell people he was in the 3rd Armored Division in WWII... 9 times out of 10 they insist that he served under Patton. When we try to correct them, it goes right over the head of most people.
Yes that seems to be.
My sister had a neighboring friend whose parents were so dear and often came to our functions.
Her father was a vet from WWII with Patton in Europe and he said he’d follow him anywhere. “He didn’t make us do anything he wouldn’t” - like swimming a river to cross it! LOL
