"I hope every American has the opportunity to reflect on Hal Moore's life experiences and guidance. There is much for all of us to learn from this great American leader and patriot," said Carolyn Blashek, founder of Operation Gratitude. "I was deeply touched by "A General's Spiritual Journey," she continued. "After reading his Journey, I asked Gen. Moore if we could obtain 70,000 copies to include in our Holiday Care Packages, so that our troops currently deployed would have the privilege and benefit of his wisdom and faith. General Moore immediately enlisted the kindness of Wild Goose Ministries and its president, Pat McConathy, to ensure that every service member receiving an Operation Gratitude care package would also receive a copy of his Journey. I am thrilled--it is a MUST READ!"
Lt. General Harold G. Moore (Ret.) graduated from West Point in 1945, commanded two infantry companies in the Korean War, was a battalion and brigade commander in Vietnam, and later commanded the 7th Infantry Division in Korea. A master parachutist and Army aviator, he helped develop and launch the concept of the Air Cavalry in Vietnam. General Moore co-authored with Joe Galloway the NY Times #1 best-seller, We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young, the dramatic and moving account of the 7th Cavalry's epic action in the Ia Drang Valley in 1965, one of the Vietnam War's bloodiest battles. The book was brought to the Big Screen by Director Randall Wallace in 2002 starring Mel Gibson (as General Moore), Sam Elliot and Madeleine Stowe, and has been hailed as "one of the greatest war movies ever made." Gen. Moore and Galloway's second book, We Are Soldiers... Still, will be published and released in 2008. At 85 years young, Lt. General Moore is one of America's most sought after speakers on leadership and is founder of The National Endowment for the Public Trust.
