General George S Patton is honored with a parade through Los Angeles and a reception at the Memorial Coliseum before a crowd of over 100,000. He speaks in front of the Burbank City Hall and at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, wearing a chest full of medals and two ivory-handled revolvers (not pearl, as is often incorrectly asserted). He punctuates his speech with some of the same profanity that he has used with his troops. June 9, 1945
