Rätt! Han skrev boken A Soldier's Story, som filmen Patton Pansargeneralen från 1970 delvis baseras på. Hans udda förnamn beror på:
"Their son's unusual first name was a tribute to Omar D. Gray, a newspaper editor. Speculating further, the newspaper editor's politics - a prominent part of his trade at the time - seem to have celebrated the common man against the big Eastern interests. John's [Omar's father] decision to give the editor's name to his son was as much a statement of values as it was a way to make him unique."

Drar till med Oscar/Sam, skeppskatt på Bismarck.
"Oscar – Die Bordkatze der Bismarck (Unsinkable Sam)
Why have we in Popular Social Science categorized a swasticat together with the allied cats? Well, the story of Oscar is perhaps the most intriguing of all. Oscar (later Sam) was originally the nemesis of Blackie the cat, fighting against him aboard the Bismarck in the battle of the Denmark Strait.
However, Bismarck was sunk in that battle, and Oskar was subsequently rescued from the water by the British destroyer HMS Cossack. He thus became an allied cat.
In October 1941 HMS Cossack was torpedoed by a German U-boat, and Sam (Oscar had gotten an allied name now) was once again rescued, and transferred to the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal. He had now gotten his nickname “Unsinkable Sam.”
Then the HMS Ark Royal was torpedoed as well, and Sam was once again transferred, first to HMS Lightning and later HMS Legion. He survived the war, and went on to enjoy his retirement days in Belfast."
