Harold Gregory "Hal" Moore
February 13, 1922 - February 10, 2017
Lieutenant General Hal Moore know for his role in Batlle of la Drang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ia_Drang), the first major battle betwen the U.S and North Vietnamese armies, passed away (https://www.stripes.com/news/us/lt-gen-hal-moore-dies-depicted-in-film-we-were-soldiers-1.453672) on Friday 10th of February.
From Guardian of Valor (http://guardianofvalor.com/first-last-memorial-warrior-leader-lieutenant-general-hal-g-moore-us-army-ret/):
General Moore’s family publicly released the following statement yesterday;
“We regret to report Lt. General Harold G Moore Jr passed away in his sleep on February 10, 2017, also the birthday of his wife, Julia, who passed away in 2004. Mom called Dad home on her day. After having a stoke last week, Dad was more lethargic and had difficulty speaking, but he had always fought his way back…
By the time we held an early birthday party on February 9th, Dad could no longer speak and was visibly tired. Upon seeing his cavalry Stetson, his iron will force a final communication to his beloved West Point, his precious soldiers, and the US Army. This video shows his final hand salute. God bless our Dad. Keep and protect him.
Chills just went up to my spine. As I type this, an ice cream truck drove by improbably chiming the 7th Cavalry ballad, Garry Owen. Dad just told all of us he is fine. We are working the details of the funeral. As a devout Roman Catholic, Dad’s Mass will be held at St. Michael the Archangel Church in Auburn AL. After moving to Fort Benning for a memorial service at the National Infantry Museum, internment in the Fort Benning cemetery, the family will host a reception back at the museum.
All are welcome to attend and we will publish a schedule as soon as it is finalized. We will attempt to live stream the memorial and graveside service. The services will probably be on either Thursday or Friday.”
