Op-Ed Column for Galloway

Military Correspondent Is With KRT

Joseph L. Galloway, senior military correspondent for Knight Ridder, is moving into opinion writing with a column Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service launched June 4.

Galloway -- whose weekly feature will cover military and national-security matters -- is a Bronze Star winner who did four tours of duty in Vietnam as a United Press International reporter, covered the first Gulf War, and co-authored We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young (later made into a Mel Gibson movie).

Galloway took part in the battle; that's how he got the medal. There was a guy with the Boston Globe who got a medal in Vietnam for rescuing a wounded American soldier under fire.
