To K4sPRR: Oh my, you've got yours Dad's Patton Christmas card? Is that the one with the "Weather Prayer" printed on the reverse? If it is you've got a priceless family heirloom, don't ever, EVER, let it go!
By the way, the "Weather Prayer" works. Trust me on that one.
And I'm sure I'll love the Patton Museum, I'm a Patton fan alright. All Marines are Patton fans. Hey, Patton's one of the best Marines the US Army ever bred!

Yes, that the one, the Weather Prayer. My Dad said it worked too, skies cleared and air support was able to get to them. Its about 2 X 3 inches in size, many guys pitched them or lit them and passed it around to light cigarettes. I don't know why, but Dad stuck his in his wallet and there it stayed. Now I have it, and plan to pass it on hopefully for many generations.
Also, when I was at the Patton Museum his specially made Jeep was on display there at that time and also his pearl handled pistols with holster. Obviously you were a Marine, Patton was the best "ground pounder" the Marines wish they had. They made up for though, Gomer Pyle.....LOL.
I was in the Army, we always jabbed with the Marines but when the s.... hit the fan, you learn what the term an Army of One really means. Praying all our troops have a safe Christmas.
Hey K4s, I don't mind a little joshing when it's all in good fun. Shakespeare hit the nail on the head when he wrote "We few, we happy few, we bank of brothers. For he who sheds his blood with me this day shall be by brother, be he e'er so base..." Pretty remarkable for a man who never wore a uniform or fired a shot to get it so right. What a genius he was.
And "Amen" to all the troops having a safe Christmas. Hope they bring them all home ASAP.

baberuth73 Are you folks trying to tell me that Shoeless Joe Jackson may not have really come back from the dead to play baseball in that Iowa cornfield? Darn.............

Actually he did, but he died as a left-handed hitting South Carolina hillbilly, and was reborn as a right-handed hitting Italian from New Jersey....
