Sgt. Leo,
I very much appreciate all that you have shared so far, but none perhaps as much as this particular story. Whatever anyone thinks about Patton, he had this part right! This is a theme that often concerns me today when I see some vets and their units who are being overshadowed by some of the more well known, and I know it can't make them feel very good. At the risk of redundancy I will say again...they (all you guys) are heroes to me, and always have been...combat or cook. Thanks for sharing this story and thank you for your service! I'm sure this had a positive impact on the young soldier you shared it with! 
Jim
