The following was posted on Hal Moore's FB page as were these photos:
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!

RIP, Sergeant-Major Plumley.
Today I heard a tribute to Plumley on NPR. I was a little surprised, but pleased. Of course, it made me cry.
"We know you have St. Peter doing pushups! Drive On!" Loved this .. thanks for sharing about a great patriot.
