Robert Patton, former post adjutant, frequently attended local holocaust events as his army unit, the 65th Division, Third Army, liberated a concentration camp at Mauthausen.  It was through his efforts that an unmarked mass grave was identified and a memorial placed to remember those interred in the unmarked site.  Let’s honor Robert’s memory by attending this event.
