Ping
Please Pass this Ping on to as many folks that you can think of..
Army brat of a vet that was right behind Moore in Benning and Ia Drang. Two tours he survived. My Dad and hero
I am watching the movie now and am seeing the part where Mrs. Moore is delivering the telegrams. I have seen the movie twice and that part really gets to me.
PING
If possible, please pass the ping on.
A thank you to all the military families out there.
Army Brat myself.
Touching story, wonderful woman, condolences to Gen. Moore and his family.
BUMP and God Bless Julie Moore!
I can't believe no one pinged you to your own movie! :-)

BUMP and God Bless Julie Moore!
Seconded!
Have Foxnews on right now and am watching Hannity, but as soon as abominable "Gretchen" Van Sustern comes on, I'm switching over to "We were soldiers". I starts again at 10:30pm EST.
Sustern = Susteren

PING!
An extraordinary woman. She put a more human casualty notification system into place than ever existed. The least of her legacy.
Yes, me too. Just can't help but cry. It's so moving. What a wonderful woman she was. A silent partner doing heroic things of her own. No medals, nothing like that but...the changes she made are lasting. She was a valiant SOLDIER.
In many ways the women and children left behind are called upom to be as brave as their soldiers.
You bet. They too are heroes. No two ways about that.
Mrs. Moore was a wonderful woman. I hope the General and his children are well, and I will pray for their comfort after this loss.
