Patton and His Pistols

[Walt's Daughter]

Just received this from my friend, Russ Weiskircher:

 

Long after WW2 and after Patton's

death, I was stationed in Pittsburgh, Pa and served as the chairman of the

Fort Pitt Museum Associates.As such we staged events to publicize and

support the museum. I recall we hosted a traveling display honoring General

Patton and telling the story of tank warfare. General Ridgeway, also

retired, cut the ribbon and was the chief speaker. General Patton's pistols

were on loan, traveling with the exhibit. Russ

 

By the way have you ever seen the story of Pattons grave and the relocation

to minimize damage from the many visitors? Its an interesting rest of the

story sort of thing. I believe you can get in via google, Patton's grave.
