I-95 Battle Flag Memorial Donations: 22nd Va Infantry
Colonel George Smith Patton
Mortally wounded at the Battle of Opequon Creek (or 3rd Battle of Winchester), leaving a widow and 9-year-old son, Colonel `Patton was the grandfather of Lt. Gen. George S. Patton III, World War II 3rd Army Commander, who "… often credited his grandfather –the brave Colonel of the 22nd Virginia— as the inspiration for his military career." "........George Sr.'s father had commanded a Confederate regiment during the Civil War and was killed in Winchester, Va.=.......Patton used to pray nightly to a painting of two men he thought were God and Jesus but were really Civil War heroes Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson........"
Outspoken. Brilliant. Arrogant. Spiritual. Vulgar. These are just a handful of the adjectives attached to George Patton, all of which described him accurately at one time or another.
A complicated man, Patton was a Christian (Episcopal), yet he often studied the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita. He prayed to a personal God and turned to the Bible for inspiration, but he also believed in reincarnation, asserting that he had lived former lives.

Patton was a sack of feces who lead troops to attack American veterans trying to get aid from the government they served. He is burning in Hell today.
ReplyDeleteWW1 and Eisenhower also. The Bonus Army.
DeleteGeneral Patton is my favorite general of all time. He was
ReplyDeletefighting against communism while the rest like Eisenhower were
fighting for it. Communism was the real threat to Europe and
America so we really did fight the wrong enemy. He was very
outspoken and defiant which got him in trouble but did not
deserve to be murdered. Hell, he would have been the best
president, ever.
Those who fight for America are always in
danger, always thwarted by the plotting and the treachery
of the subhumans whom Patton recognized and battled
to the end of his life. His story is one which enlightens and
inspires us all, and this is why we must, after forty years,
remind the American people of the cowards who
murdered him.
He was fighting against communism while the rest like Eisenhower were fighting for it.
Delete& he made it known.
