Thumbs up Patton Grave

Many years ago I was flying out of Luxemburg and I had arrived at the airport very early and had time to just wonder about for a few hours. I drove south of the airport to sight see some of the country side and noticed a sign that pointed to a small US Military Cementery.
I drove in to see it and an elderly couple asked me if I knew where Patton's grave was and I said it was somewhere in the US. The gentleman said no he was buried here. I walked around the Cementery and saw his grave which was at the head of a number of graves that were arranged in a half moon with Patton at the head of the arrangement. He wanted to be buried with his Troops. He truly was a great Warrior.
