I remember ADM Moorer.

One of the requirements I performed for achieving Eagle Scout, was an essay/interview of a famous American. One of the Scout Counselors, a history teacher, recommended a via-letter interview with ADM Moorer.

I still have those letters, in a box somewhere...

Thank You, Sir.

Just as we were getting ready to post it, we saw yours.

Requiescat in Pacem warrior, sailor, leader and friend.

We need men like him now more than ever.

I have read a lot of things said by Admiral Moorer. He is the only public personality I have never ever disagreed with.

A real conservative.

We have Adm. Moorer to thank for the F-14. Had it not been for his testimony before congress, the Navy would have been flying the non-fighter that the air force uses, the F-111 (the air force calls it's small bombers fighters). Adm. Moorer told congress there wasn't enough thrust in all christiandom to make a fighter out of the F-111. Thank you Admiral.

It was an honor to serve under this man. A the time I thought as him being another link in the chain of command, but later I learned he was a super American. He's up there with Halsey, Nimitz, Patton, Burke and Bradly.
