Harold Gregory Moore Jr. (February 13, 1922 - February 10, 2017) was a United States Army lieutenant general and author. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the U.S. military's second-highest decoration for valor, and was the first of his West Point class (1945) to be promoted to brigadier general, major general, and lieutenant general. Moore is remembered as the lieutenant colonel in command of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, at the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965, during the Vietnam War. The battle was detailed in the 1992 bestseller We Were Soldiers Once. and Young, co-authored by Moore and made into the film We Were Soldiers in 2002, which starred Mel Gibson as Moore; Moore was the "honorary colonel" of the regiment. Moore was awarded the Order of Saint Maurice by the National Infantry Association as well as the Distinguished Graduate Award by the West Point Association of Graduates. In June 2009, the 87-year-old Moore attended the formal opening of the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, Georgia. One of the featured exhibits of the museum is a life-size diorama of L.Z. X-Ray from the Battle of Ia Drang. Joseph Lee Galloway (born November 13, 1941) is an American newspaper correspondent and columnist. Since 2013, he has worked as a special consultant for the Vietnam War 50th anniversary Commemoration project run out of the Office of the Secretary of Defense and has also served as consultant to Ken Burns' production of a documentary history of the Vietnam War broadcast in the fall of 2017 by PBS. He is also the former Military Affairs consultant for the Knight-Ridder chain of newspapers and was a columnist with McClatchy Newspapers. During the Vietnam War, he often worked alongside the American troops he covered and was awarded a Bronze Star Medal in 1998, for carrying a badly wounded man to safety while he was under very heavy enemy fire in 1965. Along with Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore, Galloway co-authored a detailed account of those experiences in the best-selling 1992 book, We Were Soldiers Once. And Young. A sequel was released in 2008: We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam and Moore and Galloway gave an interview on the book at the Pritzker Military Library on September 17, 2008. Derived from a Kirkus review: During mid-November 1965, Moore led 450 officers and men from the US Army's 1st Cavalry Division into the Ia Drang Valley, a trackless waste near Vietnam's border with Cambodia that served as a Communist sanctuary and infiltration route into Vietnam's Central Highlands. Almost as soon as they arrived, American forces were engaged in a series of constant-contact clashes with two full regiments of NVA regulars in what came to be known as the Pleiku campaign. A considerable, if costly, triumph for US arms, these bloody engagements (covered for UPI by Galloway) were also the first in which the US made a substantive commitment of troops. Drawing on their own experiences, interviews with other participants, after-action reports, captured documents, and allied sources, the authors recall the four hellish clays and nights of combat in or around helicopter landing zones that pitted elements of the 7th Cavalry against a determined foe fighting on his home ground. Their harrowing account offers telling detail on the savage battles that raged in the ravines and hills below the Chu Pong massif. It pays heartfelt tribute as well to the brave men (on both sides) who fought and frequently died on the killing grounds. Moore and Galloway (now a senior writer for U.S. News & World Report) also touch, without dwelling, on the lessons that could have been learned from the valor and sacrifices of vanguard units in what quickly became an unconventional war of attrition witho.
