  THE GENERAL PATTON STATUE -
  Located just to the east in a row of avocado trees separating church and cemetery property is a life-sized bronze statue of General George S. Patton in battle dress. The statue, designed and crafted by Len McCann in 1984 was commissioned by members of The Church of Our Saviour to honor Patton's service in World War II and to commemorate his being part of the parish.
