- My father, Stanley D. Pierson was with the 607th Tank Destroyer Battalion with General George S. Patton. My father is listed as the second to the last officer on the letters from Gen. Patton. Dad was the Chief Warrant Officer at that time. I have some original pictures taken of Gen. Patton "pissing" in the Rhine as they always write it. I heard that story many times from my father. Thank you so much for doing this. Dad born Dec. 5, 1920, Died Oct. 29, 2010. Retired U.S. Army Captain A thankful daughter--Janene Pierson-Redfield
