Major General George S. Patton
Received this from Ted Barker - Korean War Project! Thought you guys might like to know.
Mrs. Hardcore ***************************************** George S. Patton, Major General, USA (Ret) - RIP June 26th 2004 Hal and I wish to report the loss of another valued member of the military community and member of the Korean War Project as reported by the family of Major General George S. Patton. Preferring to be known as a farmer, the distinguished scion of the Patton family, George, lived a full life although suffering from failing health in recent years. George served in Korea with the 140th Tank Battalion with distinction. He went on to serve in Vietnam and in various commands afterwards. Revered by his fellow servicemen and quietly following his famous father's footsteps, he is well remembered. From Lou Dechert: Col USA (Ret) 140th Tank Bn. Korea. I have received word from Mrs. Joanne Patton that my commander, associate, and friend, Major General George S. Patton, passed away quietly at home the night of June 26. Mrs. Patton has indicated that family services will be at their church in Beverly Farms, MA on 7 July, with a later date at Arlington National Cemetery to be announced. General and Mrs. Patton maintained a family business website at http://www.gmfarm.com
