From North Africa to Sicily and Europe, Colonel Odom became a close personal friend of General Patton. He was involved in all of the day-to-day operations of the highest levels of General Patton's commands throughout the war. His memories reflect his friendship with Patton and his involvement in the creation of the Medical System that saved thousands of lives during the war. Colonel Odom was the most decorated doctor in the European Theater of Operations and he won the Purple Heart by being wounded by a sniper's bullet during the battle of the Falaise Gap in 1944.
