As a veteran i truly appreciate the care and concerns Hal Moore had for his troopers

Not a big fan of the re naming thing these days. If you’re going to do that, you couldn’t have picked a better man than Hal Moore. Just an incredible human being. ❤️

I went to basic training in 1987 at Sand Hill, Echo Company, Seventh Battalion, First Infantry Training Brigade, Ft. Benning Georgia. For me and my fond memories of the time I spent there, It will always be Benning to me.

Sorry, but it will always be Fort Benning to me! My mom and dad are buried at the Main Post Cemetery off of Custer Road along with my sister who was one of the last deliveries at the old hospital complex on Baltzell Avenue before everything was transferred out to Martin Army Hospital in 1962. I grew up there. I got to meet John Wayne and George Takei during the production of the "Green Berets" in 1967. Attended Patch and White Elementary as well as Don C. Faith Junior High before being bussed eighteen miles into Columbus in 1972 to the old Spencer High on Sheppard Drive. I eventually graduating in 1975, enlisted in the Navy and never looked back. We lived at 17 Christian Lane, 50b Arrowhead Road, 109 Baltzell Ave, 407 Wickersham Ave, 43a Arrowhead Road, 509 Baltzell Avenue and finally at 28a/b Arrowhead Road before dad retired in 1978 and he bought the house on Curry Street in the Dimond Springs neighborhood.

Remembering history. Let’s not forget our history.

I went to Jump School and IOBC at "FORT BENNING". Millions of Infantrymen trained at "FORT BENNING" and many died for this country.

When at the NCO academy we were each asked who, in our opinion, exemplified the word "leader". My response was LTGEN Hal Moore, of course. And it was so disappointing that the other students did not know who Hal Moore was...

Such is life,I'm a South African age56. I grew up watching your movies on the big screen (drive-ins),from there on VHS . Us as a generation Saw an amazing change in the pace of life due technology, sometimes it was hard to keep up but the way we've been brought up helped us adapt. This is just a thank you from me for the hours of entertainment and lessons in courage you have given me. ❤ Marcel

R.I.P. General and Mrs Moore and those magnificent troopers!

It was Ft Benning growing up. Ft Benning when I was there. It will still be Ft Benning, or Lee, or Hood, or Bragg etc.

God bless the Moore family Hal was a true American hero

God Bless your parents for the sacrifices they made for our country, as well as the men and their families who gave so much to the nation. Especially those who gave the last full measure on the battle field. 🙏 Eternal rest grant unto them Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Thankyou! That was a very wonderful story and video and im very grateful for watching and learning about the History of your beautiful family back during the Korea /Vietnam error while in our great Military thru that very difficult time!

GOD Bless LTG Moore and may he R.I.P🇨🇱🇺🇸👊🙏🙏🙏🙏

And we wonder why recruitment is down

Awesome 🇺🇸. What a blessing to the USA, Hal Moore and his family.

To us " old timers" it will always be Benning, Hood, Jackson, etc. No PC bs will change that.

Great man but I hate the name changes. Fort Benning and Fort Bragg will always be that. I have never thought about a Confederate General when I think about those places. Next will be Washington, Jefferson, et al.

I'm glad it was named after Hal Moore I'm thankfull for that, BUT I don't think it should of been renamed we lost so much history changing the name, I trained there and there's alot of other vets that are not happy about it, and the reason for it being renamed are not any good and make as much sense as building monuments to gourge floyed who was a criminal

The grave site was held for the wife of one of the Soldiers killed; when General Moore asked her if he could bury his wife in that special place with "her boys", the wife said yes for what Mrs. Moore did to assist the wives of those killed in the battle. End state, both General and Mrs. Moore are buried together and with the men loss at the battle of Ia Drang valley November of 1965.

I'm not ARMY but naming the Fort after such a HERO in my mind is a very good thing. RIP MOORE

RIP General Moore!

WE STAND ON SHOULDERS OF GIANTS !!!

I think it’s great to Honor Hal Moore and his wife but I’m not at all ok with changing base names or the reason they did it. Never will.

A true honor and a great Man. My Father-in-law lost a good part of his OCS class at La Drang.

This was overdue Hal Moore rightfully deserves this honor 🎖 🥇 🙏

God bless the Moore family. Their father is a true American hero and great leader.

This was Awesome! Thank you!

God bless Hal Moore. A true American hero. A great leader. A loving and dedicated family man. Rest In Peace.

1. Greg Moore sounds JUST LIKE his dad... it is freaking uncanny! Most children 'sound a lot like' one of their parents. Greg sounds spot freaking on like his dad. 2. I was unaware that Benning was being renamed Ft. Harold Moore. That should be humbling to most Vietnam veterans. It is a magnificent tribute to an incredible soldier.

thank you for serving and being a true leader sir

I am 30 year US Army retired veteran and I am not in favor of disrespecting Confederate Generals. That said ,I must commend the renaming of Forts Hood and Benning. I was stationed at both. Naming Fort Hood after General Cavazos is an excellent choice. Fort Benning being renamed for General Hal Moore and his wife has given me renewed faith in the Army leadership. Both of these soldiers provided leadership, honor, valor, innovation, and ethics over their entire careers. No wokism here. Lastly, they are my Brothers, Vietnam veterans.

I have a great deal of respect for Hal Moore and the men of LZ X-Ray. But I disagree with the renaming the bases from Confederate Generals, who were local heroes, to make some PC political point. General Milley made it clear that the purpose of renaming the bases was to make the political point that the South, Southerners, and anyone one who defend the Southerners who fought to defend their homes against the political tyranny that General Milley supported are to be considered traitors. The military could have canvas the state where the bases are located and ask those citizens their opinions whether to change it or not. The military could have had a campaign at the state level of the citizenry of whether to keep the base names unchanged or update the base name to a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient who served in Vietnam. But they did not do that. General Milley and the whole Joint Chiefs Of Staff made it clear that the South, Southerners, and their heroes were traitors. By their actions they have made clear that citizen soldiers are not citizen soldiers. What they have made clear that whatever loyalty to your home, family, friends, neighbors, your state is secondary to the US Military and the Federal Government. That is kind of loyalty oath you take to join the Mafia. For over 150 years, North and South we honored the sacrifice each side made to defend their homes and the men who fought. Now, once again, people like Milley, who is from Massachusetts, has started a New Reconstruction Era. Once more rubbing in the face of Southerners that they lost. In fact, Milley said as much, when he referred to these men as traitors and losers. Well General Milley, how many wars has the US Federal Government won? Besides World War 2, the US has not really won a war since the Spanish American War and even then we have ended up involved in Latin America to our detriment. Korea was a Draw, Vietnam was a Loss, because we betrayed the South Vietnamese, Cambodians, and Laotians to the Communist. Lebanon we took a bloody nose and left. Thank God for Grenada and Panama at least we prevailed there. The 1st Gulf War might be a success but only a partial one only because we did not finish the job. The Iraq War and the Afghanistan War were failures. We have spent trillions of dollars, and tens of thousands of lives of our sons and daughters for what purpose? Freedom, liberty, human rights, democracy was that the purposes? Or was the purpose that Milley and his generation of military and political leaders was to foster corruption at home and oversea, to bleed out the poor and working class Americans of all colors to meet an agenda pushed by the elites. Yes, Lee and we Southerner lost the war, but Lee never abandoned his men. The Lee and the Southerners fought until they ran out of resources and men. Once Lee and the Southerner surrendered they went home to rebuild their lives and their homes destroyed by the Federal Government. What has Milley, his fellow generals and the political class done. In no war since World War 2 have we ever not had the manpower, nor have we not had sufficient resources. In fact we have always had superior resources than our enemies. Why has not MIlley and his political class that he defends not prevailed in any of these war. What they do is declare victories that are really failures, They abandon their allies and families to the mercy of the enemy. Scrap up off the ground the pieces of meat that were once our sons and daughters. Then throw the meat into body bags, salute, send them home to grieving families. They extol the sacrifice of the heroes, but they make the sacrifice meaningless. When in fact the sacrifices were not for high ideas but for political and economic gains for the ruling class. Milley and the current narrative is that the South fought for nothing but slavery and Southerner were fools for defending their states against the Federal Government. A Federal Government and North that was quite happy to benefit from slavery as long as they controlled the taxes and resources to benefit Northern textiles. What is Milley and the political class having the American people sacrifice for? Power, Control, Wealth, it certainly is not Freedom, Liberty, Human Rights. What was Lee and the Southerners fighting for? Their homes, and families What is so sad is not that I have come to despise my country. But I have a group of elites, most of who's ancestors were not even here or took part in the Revolution. These elites are destroying the country my ancestors struggled to create and maintain for almost 300 years. People like General Milley is just another arrogant Irish Mick from Massachusetts. He is just another piece of Yankee Eurotrash. It is funny. I wonder will his renaming bases, insulting Southerners, and pushing the Woke agenda going to stop dwindling recruiting? Have we not become like a decaying Rome, having to recruit foreigners who have no historical or familial ties to the country as well as having to hirer mercenaries to fight in Irag and Afghanistan. Sometimes I just wish I live long enough to watch the Republic crumble, from the actions of the political elites that Milley has been supporting for most of his career. Milley and his group are the real traitors. If it was desirable for these bases to be renamed it could have been handled some much differently. Instead of just bases in the South, rename all the bases after Congressional Medal Of Honor recipients just like was done in Vietnam. Where the buildings were named after the heroes who died in Vietnam. Maybe even have historical marker providing the original name of the base and who the person that the base was named after was. But no, it is too late, you can see it in the news, or rather the brainwashing machines whether it is MSM or Internet media. Just making us all brain numb zombies chatting AOC is right, AOC is right, White People bad, America bad, White America feel guilty.

God bless your family

Beautiful human beings.

Good Choice

What an honor to a great soldier and leader! We would be hard pressed to find a better man and father. I have watched the movie about him in Vietnam and the bravery he displayed.

Mr . Moore was an honorable man , that said leave our honored Confederate dead alone to rest in peace, leave our Confederate monuments alone , and leave our forts with Confederate leaders' names upon them alone . If yankees want to have a fort named after this man, choose some other fort outside of our southern lands .

When you change your history you lose your identity.

Lt Colonel Hal Moore Is The Real Life Captain America

No more (no pun intended) fitting candidate than Hal Moore.

It’s about tradition, it is Fort Benning. Find something new to name in Moore’s name. What will we name Fort Moore next week. Tradition.

FT BENNING‼️‼️

My Daddy and daughter, both Army Airborne Jumpmasters, trained at Fort Benning! Our memorials are being torn down and the truth is being lied about in the public square. There's a message in a memorial. What is that memorial saying to us? The message of a memorial is timely . "Those doomed to learn about history are doomed to repeat it." Winston Churchill

It will always be Ft. Benning to me. Did basic training in Jan.1966 at Sand Hill

Moore is awesome, but give a new base his name.

That’s an awesome idea. Total respect. My Dad would have been proud of this decision. He was in Patton’s third army. He lives to be 94.

Moore was a hero but they shouldn't change the army bases name! Its good to honor Hale Moore but put up a permanent big sign but the base name should remain the same!

Ft. Benning will always be Ft. Benning as far as I’m concerned. No need to change the name. I graduated from Ft. BENNING not Ft. “Moore”.

It’ll always be Ft Benning to me. A 1/50 in ‘99 followed by Airborne school. Took my first steps into manhood here.

Renaming bases to remove references to brave Confederate heros was a mistake.

Its fits and the post will have a continued and honorable tradition. I met the man and it was an honor to have him sign my book!

❤

An American hero !

a true leader. we'll follow you sir.

what a terrific video .....thanks for the upload

Was there for Infantry, Airborne and Ranger - 1969

The 7th FIRST. LIVE THE LEGEND 💪🐴

I don't know why they named an Army Fort after an actress to begin with. Annette's going to be pissed.

RIP General & Mrs. Moore!!🙏

Cool !!!

True American patriot and hero.

Why is it that I have never seen a video showing a Marine uncovered?

Great!

That is great

Still love the movie from Australia.

If you're going to rename a base, anywhere, renaming it after Hal Moore has got to be about the best choice!

Very fitting tribute. Thank you. (4th ID, 9 Sep 1969-9 Sep 1970)

As someone who actually lives here, millions of dollars were spent to change on post signage but we have to live with mold in our homes-just saying…

Buzzard looks like a CEO for cherrios. Not a combat leader.

I was born in Ft. Benning. Everyone suffered. Leave the name ALONE

Welcome Fort Moore !

After 17 months there in that toilet euphemistically referred to as the 197th Infantry Brigade, way back in the day..they can name it whatever they want, as long as I'm 1600 miles away from it..

I think Col. Morre is most definitely a hero. There is no doubt about that, but changing the name of bases because they were originally named after Confederate generals is fucking stupid.

It will always be Fort Benning to me. My father was stationed there before his tour in Vietnam. Why are the morons on the change history rage? Fort Moore means nothing to me.

...Meanwhile the Benning descendants wonder WTF did we do to deserve this....

I still think that they should have just named all of them Fort 1 Fort 2 etc. that way no baby gets their feelings hurt or is left out. I guess for awhile there will be a lot of confusion about where folks are supposed to go.

This is definitely not political at all. Nope, no politics, just the government changing the name of a base to a Vietnam era colonel. Colonel Thomas Moore and his soldiers would love this.

Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM) strives to tangibly preserve the essence of the Moore family experience. ARMY HOME - ARMY STRONG.

Should have named it after someone else.

So, what Fort will they name Fort Rainbow?

I am an army brat,USAF veteran,grew up at Benning and Bragg and endorse name change to Ft. Moore.

While I don't support renaming military bases. I can't think of anyone I'd rather see it named after than Gen Moore. Thank you to the Moore family for all they have done for our country.

Four Months Ago

Something should be named for Moore, but not Ft Benning. If those haters in Washington want an army with no Southern volunteers then they are on the right track. And what would the US military be without Southerners? There wouldn't be a Declaration of Independence or a US constitution with out the South. Thos renaming of military bases is stupid

I true hero of our country

He was a great leader.

“Just Pathetic.” There’s no way around It Coolest Man Worst Disgrace

😮👍🙌🙏💪❤

See Hmmm .

It only got renamed because of “muh southern history”

People getting caught up in the rebellion of secession from over 150 years ago are stupid. This post had no connection to Benning for me when I trained there, but for me and thousands of others, it was The Home of The Infantry. Most of the proponents of name change probably didn’t train there as infantry, I’m sure some did, like the Vindmans. And I’m sure there are other current traitors who wore the blue cord. But changing names of posts where so many of our dead or maimed, or permanently damaged heroes trained, were trained, or stationed is insulting to their legacies. Other problems need our attention and resources. This just smells of bad actors satisfying other bad actors and special interests.

I’m surprised joe biden didn’t order the name changed to Fort George Floyd.

It will always be known as ft benning. Hey army stop trying to rewrite history

What in the world are you doing? I'm from Columbus and have been on Fort Benning several times. The Cival War was a terrible time in our country when we tore ourselves apart. It's part of our history and we can't erase that fact. There was no reason to change the name and the state of Georgia should be ashamed.

if the name change was inevitable, Fort Moore is a Very fitting rename as it represents two wonderful people, God Bless them!!

Let's not forget history. Then quit renaming forts. I was a MP in the early 1970s. I had to deal with dependent brats. I wonder if they were the worse cuz their daddy was a general.

Military couldn’t have picked a better name Camp Moore🇺🇸

My Cousin!

Lets all be grown ups and call this what it is...Marxism and rewriting history.
