Congratulates George Moore, Jr.
of Shreveport, Louisiana
as
2005 Streamlight Challenged Hunter of the Year!
Despite his disability George Moore has accomplished more in his lifetime than most people. In a situation where a lesser person might have given up on life, George has not only overcome his disability, but has also done much to help others. A Captain in the United States Air Force from 1966-1973, Moore, an F-100 Super Sabre jet fighter pilot (at age 26), was in his second tour of duty in Vietnam when he was involved in a near fatal jet crash that left him with burns over 70 percent of his body. He underwent 49 surgeries in 43 months. As a result of the accident he is a quadruple amputee, having lost both legs and one arm, with little use of the remaining arm. He is rated 100% permanently and totally disabled due to service-connected conditions, and received the Bronze Star for his service to our country.
Rather than giving up on life because of his injuries, Moore began life anew. After returning to school to earn second and third degrees, he joined the Department of Veteran's Affairs and worked his way through the ranks to his current position as VA Medical Center Director, VISN Prosthetic Service Line Director. His three and a half years as a patient in military hospitals left Moore with a keen sense of patient satisfaction and a high sensitivity to veteran satisfaction. His motto, "A winner is just a loser who tried one more time," is an inspiration to veterans and employees of the Medical Center. He is a hunter and fisherman that truly loves being in the outdoors. George hunts from a six wheel all terrain vehicle for water foul, deer and turkeys. George will receive his prestigious award at the 2005 Buckmasters Life Hunt Classic in January.
There were many deserving applicants this year, and we encourage those individuals to apply again next season. Thank you for your participation, and again, congratulations George!
George Moore, Jr.
