Oct 31st, 2008 | By Byron King | Category: Financial News

Patton — stands in full dress uniform, backed up by a gigantic American flag. Scott then rouses the troops (and the audience) with a stirring speech that follows the lines of the address the real Patton gave the Third Army on June 5, 1944, the eve of the invasion of France in World War II.
