Admiral Moorer was Chief of Naval Operations when I was in the Navy. He was truly a great flag officer unlike Wesley Clark.

'In this citation, the secretary of defense said, "I particularly note that Tom Moorer has always put his country's interests before anything else, and it is this quality I recognize in presenting him the only oak leaf cluster ever given to the Defense Distinguished Service Medal."'

Rest in Peace Adm. Moorer.
