We invite you to invite us to your event. We are group of historians who bring history alive by our 1st person impression of General George S. Patton Jr. and his Third Army Headquarters. There is no better way to learn history and spice up an event than meeting General Patton and reliving history though the displays and living history exhibits of third army and it’s headquarters. We have painstakingly recreated the immediate field headquarters that surrounded General Patton in Europe as he “toured Europe with an Army” from July of 1944 till Wars end in 1945.

Lucky Forward was Patton’s own name for his famous Third Army Headquarters and from July of 1944 through the end of the War, there was no better example America’s leadership or fighting ability than that exhibited through the fighting spirit of the brave men that comprised the United States Third Army.

Set in the realism of Camo netting and uniformed personnel, and exact duplication of his famed mobile headquarters, command staff and the surrounding equipment is brought to the public in an arena of different exhibits set up as it once was, somewhere in Europe. From France, through, Luxemburg Belgium and into German, Lucky Forward punched forward to liberate Europe from the Nazi’s.

Recently at the 90th Division’s 90th Reunion he represented Patton to the men who served under him. They said after the performance, ” the audience was mesmerized and appeared in temporary shock. Not a sound was heard from the audience-as though they were holding their breath so as not to upset the general. The accuracy and intensity of your presentation re-enforced just how much in awe our WWII soldiers still are of General George S. Patton!We heard only high praise from the attendees for not only your “show”, but also for the way in which you made your appearance. You surely could tell later that evening and the next day just how much they all enjoyed by the steady flow of individuals to talk with you, and generally engage you in animated conversation. You were the hit of the “re-union”, and exceeded our high expectations for your presentations.

Helen Patton, granddaughter of General Patton and the daughter of his son said, You’re like my father and grandfather all rolled up in one, I have never seen a presentation done as well or honoring the memory of my grand father as you presented! She invited our whole show to come to Germany where she now lives and play for her foundation.

In September of 2010, George Patton Waters, Grandson of General Patton appeared with Denny at the 6th Cavalry Museum in Fort Ogelthorpe Georgia. There they shared a stage and told of the history of the General Patton Family and Third Army. It was winning combination.
