LOVE THIS PHOTO! Holland Smith sitting there in his t-shirt, tattooed arms exposed. Every photo of Patton I’ve seen has him dressed up like he’s going to lead the VFW parade. What a contrast.

"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

It is believed by me and my brother that the Marine in the foreground, sitting and apparently exhausted, is our dad, Sgt Buckley E. O'Day, Sr.
I would really like to get a good copy of this picture.
