All Vietnam vets - heads-up re Gen Hal Moore
Head's up in case you didn't get this.
Today
Cliff Stern alerted me Lt Gen. Hal Moore (Ret) is very ill and not
expected to live long. I called Joe Galloway, his best friend, and Joe
confirmed, said it broke his heart when he became involved with advance
funeral planning with the US Army. Whenever it happens, the funeral is
planned for the large Catholic church in Auburn AL (don’t yet know the
name or location) and interment will be at the Ft. Benning GA cemetery.
The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation is also preparing, perhaps for a
flyby, perhaps to fly the casket to Ft. Benning, but I don’t know.
Joe said Gen Moore’s family understands that countless Vietnam vets
care deeply about the man, and Joe said we all will be welcome at the
funeral. I can imagine the cars parked around that church might be more
than hundreds in a parking nightmare, and the funeral procession from
Auburn AL to Ft. Benning might be the largest ever seen. Maybe I’ll pack
sandwiches in a cooler since a crowd that big will clean out every
eatery along the way.
Joe said keep your eyes and ears open and you’ll hear about the event
when Gen Moore passes away and the funeral is scheduled.
I am not involved, this is just a heads up in case you want to be one of many to pay your respects when the time comes.

ReplyDeleteYes, Sir.
Deletecheck his FB page, this may be a hoax
ReplyDeleteThanks, just did and nothing. If it's a hoax, the culprit should swing from one of my Pecan trees.
DeleteA true hero
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Sgt Major Plumley has a good shade tree picked out for the two of them.
DeleteI'm sure. Just checked and he died 7 days after I posted this:
