A Special Note in particular to President Obama, film director Ken
Burns, the producers of The History Channel, and writers of the
1970 Hollywood movie "Patton": It's long past time
for General Hodges and his U.S. First Army to receive their due
-- and that their accomplishments are no longer misappropriated
by a certain cult-like mythology that surrounds Gen. George Patton. |
