A wonderful representative of his Country and his Armed Forces. One that of the greatest raconteurs in the diplomatic service and on that will be sadly missed. Desmond Travers, Col. Irish Army, Retired.

I am a West Point and Florida State classmate of Colonel Moon's son Josh, and Josh and I taught together at West Point for a few years.

Love....Frances O'Rear Witcher
