Retired Lt. Gen. Hal Moore, whose book about his experience in Vietnam was made into the movie "We Were Soldiers," died Friday, just a few days short of his 95th birthday.
Army officials from Fort Benning, Georgia, confirmed Moore's death in a statement Saturday evening.
Moore, who the Army described as a "legendary combat leader," died at his home in Auburn, Alabama, according to the statement. He is survived by three sons, two daughters, 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Moore was preceded in death by his wife, Julie Compton, in 2004.
