Mike Pierson George S. Patton Museum Tanks, Firetrucks,Vase

This show was prerecorded 8-14-14 and is being broadcast today Friday August 15, 2014

We were on the way home Texas and had to stop in and say hi to Mike Pierson, General Manager of the Museum. Last February I donated a flag to the Museum that had been literally around the world in Honor of General George S. Patton. I wanted to stop in and see how things were going, any updates on the Museum, see if my name was on the three walls of honor. So we spent about a half telling and sharing stories. Mike was kind enough to fly my LA Maritime Museum Flag over the museum, show me the various tanks in the yard. I discovered there is one Fire truck and a Russian Battle tank converted into a firefighting / Riot control vehicle that found its way from Afghanistan to the US forest service to the Patton Museum. My Favorite story is the VASE so you will have to listen to the show, however it is a GREAT Story.

I would strongly ENCOURAGE anyone travelling the I-10 to stop at Chiriaco Summit, see the Museum AND eat at the Chiriaco Summit Café. The Museum is top-Notch, the food at the Café is wonderful. I personally recommend the Patton Burger.

IF you are a Veteran Regardless of service I cannot recommend highly enough stop in and enjoy.

I want to say THANK YOU to Mike and his staff and to Margit, CEO of Chiriaco Summit and her family and staff for their service and their help
