Does any one have a picture of Major General Patton, Patton's son in his uniform showing his ribbons?

I am desperately seeking a photo of the general in possible class A uniform.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for sharing in advance.

I just checked Google images and came up dry. That's surprising. I'll bet (a small amount) that if you write to the family in Hamilton, Ma you'll get a reply. Hope this helps.

You can sort of make out the ribbons though:

 

Distinguished Service Cross

Silver Star

Legion of Merit

Distinguished Flying Cross

Purple Heart

Meritorious Service Medal

?

Army Commendation

National Defense

Korean Service

Vietnam Service

Vietnam Distinguished Service Order

Vietnam Gallantry Cross

Vietnam Armed Forces Honor Medal

I think modern order of precedence isn't jiving with the photo, which may have a different order of precedence.

 

So those ribbons could be:

 

Distinguished Service Cross

Silver Star

Legion of Merit

Distinguished Flying Cross

Bronze Star

Meritorious Service Medal

Army Commendation - not certain

Purple Heart

National Defense

Korean Service

Vietnam Service

Vietnam Distinguished Service Order

Vietnam Gallantry Cross

Vietnam Armed Forces Honor Medal

It is located at the Indiana Military Museum in Vincennes, IN.

That is a great museum. I know the owner very well. Judge Osborne.
