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.

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.
