Joe Galloway Passed Away

[jls in az]

Longtime American foreign correspondent Joseph L. Galloway, best known for his book recounting a pivotal battle in the Vietnam War that was made into a Hollywood movie, has died. He was 79.

This man dodged bullets beside the grunts in Nam armed with only a camera. He was a true journalist, not what passes as one today. He has earned his rest in Valhalla for eternity.

On the ancient Compuserve boards during the old dial up days, Joe was a regular on one of the forums i frequented.
