General Hall Moore, US Army (1922-2017) was one of the most outstanding military leaders of the Vietnam Era. His unit fought in the first large scale battle of the Vietnam Conflict, the Battle of the Ia Darang Valley. His wife, Julie (1929-2004), was an extraordinary leader in her own right who helped to care for military families on every post to which they were assigned.. Hal and Julie Moore made an outstanding team. It has been proposed that Fort Benning be renamed Fort Moore in their honor.
