Lieutenant General Harold G. "Hal" Moore (USA ret) is, by many standards, one of the finest battlefield commanders the US Army, and the nation, has ever had. From humble beginnings in Bardstown, Kentucky, to the unforgiving conflict in the highlands of central Vietnam, Moore is the finest example of the ethical and professional soldier. His abilities seemed almost unnatural at times as he faced some of the greatest dangers man could conceive while remaining focused and calm. People like General Moore are not built overnight. He is the product of many years of education, influence and trial which would, to his credit, culminate in the man who was able to keep his promise to his troopers of never leaving one of them behind on any battlefield - POW or MIA. This biography of Hal Moore will show how his unwavering faith in God, adherence to self discipline, and motivation towards always doing the right thing gave the United States one of its most professional, moral and accomplished leaders in history. For this and other reasons Lieutenant General Moore's example and exploits should be taught to every officer and enlisted person of the United States Military whether Air Force, Marine, Army, Navy or Coast Guard, regardless of their age or position.
