Thanks for the ping, Ronnie. Copying from the other thread.

For Rick, and Col. Moore.

Moore concluded his remarks by stressing the bond that exists between a commander and his soldiers. When one cadet inquired about the feeling of comrades in arm, Moore’s eyes welled with tears and he said, "When your men die and you don’t, you feel guilty. That’s all I can say about it." Today 37 years after the Battle in the Ia Drang Valley, Moore makes annual pilgrimages to the cemetery at Fort Benning, Ga., where several of his troopers are interred, and to the Vietnam Veterans War Memorial in Washington, D.C. In the wake of the tragedy of September 11, the old commander, now in his 80th year, paid his respects to Rick Rescorla, a former lieutenant who died in the destruction of the World Trade Center.

Thank you for your service, Ronnie...and your loyalty.

Good thread, SAM. Thank you.

Thanks, A.M.

Thanks Ragtime Cowgirl.

It's an honor for us to have this thread linked on Col. Moore's site. We felt it deserved to have the graphics restored and with some trial and error and a lot of help from the Admin Moderators we were able to repost and link the threads.

Thanks Aloha Ronnie, we appreciate this.
