Patton, Olympian George S. Patton, Jr., USMA ’09, became a Resident Founding Member of ANCC in 1928. Most know of him as a brilliant tactician in the use of armor and as the colorful commander of the 3rd Army during its lightening surge across Europe in 1944. Some may know of him as a member of General “Black Jack” Pershing’s staff during the Mexico expedition against Pancho Villa in 1916. Few, however, are aware that Patton competed for the United States in the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden in 1912. To learn more about this aspect of George Patton, click here.
