This is an impressive list, and I agree with your inclusions. I just want to add that after General Patton's death in 1945, he was mourned all over the world, especially by the people in Luxembourg, where he was laid to rest in the American cemetery. The following is a link to a Youtube video containing a speech by Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg. In this speech, which was broadcasted from Luxembourg to the USA on Memorial Day 1947, she expresses her appreciation of Patton and the men who lost their lives in the Ardennes. The speech of an American general, who was in charge of the American Graves Registration Command, is also included.
