General George S. Patton Jr. graduated from the Military Academy in 1909. He served as commander of the 7th Army in North Africa and Sicily in 1943 and of the 3rd Army, European Theater, from 1944-45.

The Patton Monument, designed by James Fraser, was "erected by his friends, officers and men of the units he commanded." It was unveiled by Mrs. Patton and subsequently dedicated in 1950.
