Please forgive : Stolen from FaceBook and Hal Moore

Hal Moore, the Army, and America mourn the loss of SGM Basil Plumley today. He now rejoins his wife Duerice in heaven to enjoy eternal peace. Basil Plumley is an American hero; a combat infantryman in three wars, a man of tremendous character and honor, and an iconic role model for generations of Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines that have followed his path. Above all, Hal Moore and Basil Plumley were loyal comrades and lifelong friends. Basil Plumley will be missed on this earth but he has left a legacy that lives on in the values and fighting spirit of America’s servicemen and women. God Bless you Sergeant Major. We know you have St. Peter doing pushups! Drive On!

Dunno who actually wrote it (some say the page is fan based), but it seems so right. I think “We know you have St. Peter doing pushups! ” pushed me over the edge and I had to share here.

  5. “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived”. Gen. George Patton. Truer words were never spoken.

  7. Funeral service for the Sergeant Major will be at Fort Benning on Tuesday.

    I know that the SCO and CSM of 1-7 CAV will be there to honor him, along with active duty members of Garryowen handpicked as an honor guard going from Ft. Hood to be a part of the service.

    I believe the 82nd will have a command presence at the service as well…no one will forget Sergeant Major Plumley’s significant and storied All-American roots.

  8. If he’s anything like Sam Elliott portrayed him, then Death must have been scared shitless to come for him.
