He really did but the whole story was grandpa was just one of the base cooks...little different.. shame on grandpa...
patton died in Germany when his motor car (which still runs and have seen it fire up and driven) was struck by a deuce and a half truck. his neck was broken in the accident. the dent was never removed.i will have to see if i have that pic.
wow you , not me, derailed this thread.i do believe that patton died as its shown at the patton museum where he was hit and its that car in the pic and the dent is there. his last words were, don't charge that private with a crime he hit me in an accident and that private was never charged.

Romesha at his Medal of Honor ceremony in 2013
Romesha was born in August 1981[2] in Lake City, California, to a family with a strong military background. His grandfather, Aury Smith, is a World War II veteran who fought in the Battle of Normandy.[3] His father is a Vietnam War veteran who later became a church leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Romesha is the fourth of five siblings, including two brothers who also joined the military.[4] He is a member of the LDS Church and attended seminary for four years during high school but ultimately decided not to become a missionary for the church as his family had hoped he would.[5] Romesha grew up in Lake City, where he developed an avid love of hockey.[2]

So I guess he is the second oldest
not sure. we did have a man that was on the uss. Dorchester. google that and the four chaplains.
I use to change the tires on them when I was in, those trucks are heavy 2 and a half tons. And we used them to go our work sites and we had to check them 5 days a week in the morning at the motor pool.
That bullet started out here in Philly and made it's way to Dallas.
the 10.00 r 20. I used to dismount and mount them with the split rim and tube and cap a few years ago. we paid inmates usually to do that but sometimes we had to mount for a repair or put a new tire on the front axle. per city policy no front tires were to be recaps.
