America Remembers is proud to offer a tribute to General George S. Patton, Jr. for the accomplishments and indomitable spirit of this outstanding American leader. The concept and design of the Tribute has been officially authorized by the Family of George S. Patton, Jr.
Patton enrolled in Virginia Military Institute, the alma mater of earlier generations of Patton military men. After a year of rigorous study at VMI, Patton received his appointment to West Point. By sheer force of will he was able to excel in every area, and to develop in himself traits of toughness and leadership, in preparation for what he foresaw as his destiny.
Here is a working Colt .45 ACP pistol, with the solid, hand-filling heft that veterans will remember. Craftsmen specifically commissioned by America Remembers decorate each Tribute.
