Col. David. H. Hackworth, 1930-2005 Legendary U.S. Army Guerrilla Fighter, Champion of the Ordinary Soldier
Washington, D.C., May 5, 2005 Col. David H. Hackworth, the United States Army's legendary, highly decorated guerrilla fighter and lifelong champion of the doughboy and dogface, ground-pounder and grunt, died Wednesday in Mexico.
I know the feelings about Col. Hackworth are wide and varied. But he WAS a soldier. 3 times nominated for the MOH (3rd one is currently being reviewed at the Pentagon)
I have disagreements with him on his politics and we even discussed some of them via e-mail at times. But he went above and beyond during his time in the uniform.
Prayes for him and his family.
Hiya TXRG
I had heard about Hack today and was surprised to hear of his death (cancer?)
I think you summed up my feelings about his death
Salute
