Every year, the historic city of Pilsen in the Czech Republic gathers to celebrate the liberation of their city by General Patton's 3rd Army. People gather from around the world to enjoy the festivities and say 'thank you'.
As part of the Pilsen Liberation Festival, the first General George S Patton Scholarship of Honor will be ceremonially awarded by General Patton’s grandson George Patton Waters and WW II veteran Marion Kirkham in honor of his brother Virgil Kirkham, killed near Pilsen on April 30 1945, the last recorded American USAAF pilot killed in Europe during WWII. You can find more details on the scholarship at General Patton Scholarship

General Patton was one of a kind. He was courageous with a vision. He saw what other naive politicians never saw. He demanded the best of every soldier. He was accused of being cruel to his men. Well, he knew he had a job to be done , and realizes that it was best done as fast as possible. He accomplished the task he was assigned to do, and he did that in an astonishing speed. Courage salutes such men.
