The
one honor which is mine and mine alone is that of having commanded such
an uncompromisible group of Americans the record of whose fortitude,
audacity, and valor will endure as long as history lasts.
General George S. Patton, Jr. - 9 May 1945 |
He was larger than life, a flamboyant, charismatic and
controversial personality. Throughout his military career, General
George S. Patton, Jr. dared great deeds, and inspired the troops serving
under his command to achieve far beyond even their own expectations. He
was the quintessential warrior, patriot, and a brilliant military
scholar. His speeches were legendary and often inspired the troops who
served under his command. In the words of his biographer, George S.
Patton, Jr. had "a genius for war."
America Remembers is proud to offer a tribute to the accomplishments and
indomitable spirit of this outstanding American leader. Here is a
working Colt .45 ACP pistol, with the solid, hand-filling heft that
veterans will remember. The concept and design of the Tribute has been
officially authorized by the Family of George S. Patton, Jr.
