 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.
