"There is one great thing that you men will
all be able to say after this war is over and you are home once again. You may
be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace
with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great World
War II, you won’t have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, well,
your granddaddy shovelled shit in Louisiana. No, Sir, you can look him straight
in the eye and say: son, your granddaddy rode with the great Third Army and a son of a goddamned bitch
named Georgie Patton!"
