Cool picture, and that so sounds like Patton. Be Prepared!!! He could show up from anywhere, at any time.
Patton was a character. And he was hard on his soldiers. But he needed them to be prepared for what lied ahead and had to be tough.
What a time it must have been a round the state during the years of the Maneuvers. The more I learn about it, the more fascinating it is. Hard to believe a lot of it went on right here in Podunk Nowhere.
