#2 I was privileged to have met him and heard him speak at Hal Moore's memorial at Fort Benning a few years back. He loved soldiers. Sadly, we'll probably never see another like him.

I uploaded this from the story, a more representative photo of Joe I think, one of the last /real/ journalists worthy of the name.

#5 I was privileged to spend about an hour on a hilltop at Stony Valley, Fort Hunter-Liggett with LTG Moore and several other Company Commanders and listen to him talk about unit tactics, leadership and how terrain defines how to site battle positions and plan for actions after contact. One of the most impactful insights into real leadership I ever had.

#6 R.I.P. Joe, a real journalist; not the cheap shill Dem hacks we've got today.

#7 I have not read the book, but the film is quite moving. I cannot vouch for the accuracy, but it left an impression. RIP, Joe.
