General Patton

The Inspirational Life Story of General George Smith Patton Jr.; Strategist, Olympian, Soldier, and American Patriot

By Patrick Bunker

No one is remembered quite like General Patton for their strength, ferocious determination, skill, severity, and leadership. With a near lifetime in the military with unmatchable experience, Patton not only showed strict discipline and did what was asked of him; he exceeded all expectations and went above and beyond the call of duty. He lived to fight, teach, and succeed. Such gusto solidified Patton's place as one of the greatest and most successful figures in military history. Outspoken, strict, harsh, and highly opinionated, it is no wonder why Patton's voice cannot be silenced even decades after his death. He was a man who demanded attention and cooperation.

The Path To Becoming A Soldier

George Patton was born on November 11th, 1885 in San Gabriel, California. From a very early age, young George Patton had one goal. The goal? To be a hero, of course.
