From what I could read, watch and observe of General Moore, he was a soldier’s general.
His posture and the cut of his jaw said Command with a capital C !
A true American military leader, legend and hero.
LT. GEN. HAL MOORE: I pray that my men who were killed in action under my command have eternal life in Jesus Christ. That's the best I can do.
When I go to the cemetery at Fort Benning, Georgia, a one-hour drive from my home here in Alabama, I visit the graves of my men who died in the Ia Drang Valley in 1965. My wife is buried next to Sgt. Jack Gell, whom I held in my arms just after he died. He left a wife and three children. When I go out, I will be buried in the same grave with my wife.
OUR SUNDAY VISITOR: What advice would you offer to someone who is just beginning his or her spiritual journey?
MOORE: Life on this planet is temporary. It's like a snap of the fingers compared to eternal life. You're only given one shot, your lifetime on earth, to quality for eternal life.
I often think of a prayer by Pope Clement XI: "Discover to me, O my God, the nothingness of this world, the greatness of heaven, the shortness of time, and the length of eternity."
I can hardly wait to enjoy life eternal with God and his saints, my late wife Julie, relatives, all my troops who died in battle, all the men and women of history. When I think of what awaits me if I qualify, I can hardly wait to get there.
51 years ago - the same distance as the end of the War of Northern Aggression to US entry into World War I.
One of my absolute favorite movies! Prayers for his family in the loss of a great American, an inspiration to military men and women of America.
