Politsky, US Army, 5 Jan 1948, File No: 297841</ref>
-Michael commented one time that when her served under General Patton, the General ordered all personnel to wear "leggings," even the cooks. This order did not exactly endear Patton to the cooking staff after that order was given. [Note:  Leggings were made of canvas and worn atop the upper portion of the military boots. They were supposed to protect the lower leg, to keep dirt, sand, and mud from entering their shoes, and to provide a measure of ankle support. They were eventually eliminated from a soldier's required military gear.]
