Broke my heart when I read this from another site. Not many like Gen Moore now days. My Vietnam brothers are leaving us way too fast.
This very sad message was received a short time ago. We are witnessing the closing chapter of perhaps America's last great Battle Commander, Hal Moore. Thoughts and Prayers with a heavy heart go out to his family, friends, and the United States Army! Garry Owen!

p.s if you don't know of Hal Moore, watch "We were Soldiers..." Read the book or just check him out on YouTube. We already lost CSM Plumley.
From U.S Army W.T.F! moments
We received word today that Lt Gen. Hal Moore (Ret) is very ill and not expected to live long. A call was placed to Joe Galloway, his best friend, and Joe confirmed, said it broke his heart when he became involved with advance funeral planning with the US Army. Whenever it happens, the funeral is planned for the large Catholic church in Auburn AL (don’t yet know the name or location) and interment will be at the Ft. Benning GA cemetery. The Army Aviation Heritage Foundation is also preparing, perhaps for a flyby, perhaps to fly the casket to Ft. Benning, but I don’t know.
Joe said Gen Moore’s family understands that countless Vietnam vets care deeply about the man, and Joe said we all will be welcome at the funeral. I can imagine the cars parked around that church might be more than hundreds in a parking nightmare, and the funeral procession from Auburn AL to Ft. Benning might be the largest ever seen.
Joe said keep your eyes and ears open and you’ll hear about the event when Gen Moore passes away and the funeral is scheduled.
We will keep you appraised for any developments.
