STORY DELAYED: The CBS-8 Extra, More than a Hero
has been delayed by one week. It will air NEXT Tuesday, March 30,
in the 6:00PM and 10:00PM newscasts. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Tuesday night MARCH 30th in the 6:00pm and 10:00pm newscasts on CBS-8 in Montgomery, I'll have a two-part report about retired-in-Auburn U.S. Army Lieutenant-General Hal Moore, who commanded a battalion during the first major battle of the Vietnam War. The story of that 1965 battle in the Ia Drang Valley was told in the Mel Gibson movie We Were Soldiers, based on the book written by Moore and UPI journalist Joe Galloway. Galloway was the only civilian awarded a Bronze Star during the Vietnam War, for his bravery at Ia Drang. Moore is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross.

General Moore is a Kentucky native, but is retired in Auburn now. After his retirement from the Army, Moore became a much sought-after speaker on the subject of leadership, and many of the books on his shelves are studies of leaders who were victorious (and those who failed. The 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry that Moore commanded in Vietnam was the same unit that General Custer "led" in his infamous "last stand"!)
Moore has a Master's Degree in International Relations, and you may be surprised to hear his comments about war in general and about post-war Vietnam. Join us Tuesday night on CBS 8 in Montgomery.
That is SO sweet!
