I Get Goosebumps Every Time I Remember Hal Moore Recounting This Incredible Story

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2007)

I remember seeing Hal Moore on television recounting the battle. It gives me shivers and makes me proud to be an American when I remember his recounting of the facts of that fateful battle. He is a true American hero and he freely gives credit to all who served under him...those that lived and those that died. I remember when he was speaking of a machine gunner in his unit that fought on and on long after being wounded...tears welled up on his eyes and he referred to him as a true hero. His actions saved countless lives; so did Moore's. If it wasn't for his battle strategy the U.S. would've been defeated. We surely need more commanders of his ilk. I've never seen the movie; never even knew they made one based on Hal Moore's account of that battle. I will make a point of renting it and letting everyone know what a true hero Moore and his men are.
