Lady of the Army: The Life of Mrs. George S. Patton

Together with his sixtieth birthday party, General Patton's reunion with the 1912 Swedish Modern Pentathlon Olympic team had been the highlight in an otherwise tumultuous and depressing time. As they reenacted the pistol-shooting competition, the men still "felt more like good friends and comrades than rivals in a severe competition, yet this spirit of friendship in no manner detracted from the zeal with which all strove for success."

Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃

It never grows old to see one's work featured 😊

When “Patton” was finally released in 1970, General Patton’s children were pleasantly surprised. Upon watching the iconic opening scene, his son’s first reaction was consternation that George C. Scott sounded nothing like his father. As the movie progressed, though, he realized Scott did have his Pop’s gestures, and he was particularly moved by the scene of him walking with his men toward Bastogne. The General’s daughter came away with similar feelings, brought to tears not only by Scott’s portrayal but also by the audience’s reaction, and she admitted the family had been wrong in fighting the movie for so long.
