World War II veteran reflects on meeting Patton, getting 'chewed out' on 100th birthday
Fox News
Centenarian World War II veteran Harry Whisler told Fox News Digital about his time as a U.S. Army medic who served under George S. Patton in the Third Army.
"He asked me what I was doing sitting in the driver's seat with my red helmet on," Whisler remembered. "I never thought about that, you know? So he chewed me out a little." When Patton started to walk away, he turned around and asked Whisler, "What would you have done with that machine gun there if you had to use it?"
"I'd have used it," Whisler shot back, to which Patton replied, "Job well done, soldier."
