Known as “Old Blood and Guts” General George S. Patton, Jr. was the most successful Army Commander in all of World War II and one of the greatest military leaders in all history. Yet he was haunted by mistakes, most notably when he slapped two soldiers in Sicily for what he believed was cowardice. He was nearly sent home in disgrace. CoreFirst Bank & Trust Vice President Roger T. Aeschliman will provide a true to life reenactment as General Patton as the General apologizes to the troops for these slapping incidents. This is an emotionally powerful presentation of war at its worst and best, and a stunning historical review. WARNING: intense imagery of war, wounds and death and profane language.
