Punishing the dead: Army Investigating 'We Were Soldiers' SGM Plumley awards
2016-05-18
[Mil.com] The U.S. Army is investigating allegations by a military researcher that the late Command Sgt. Major Basil Plumley -- a legend in the airborne and infantry communities -- wore unauthorized combat and valor awards that exaggerated the wartime achievements that made him famous.

Plumley, who died Oct. 10, 2012 from cancer at the age of 92, was a major figure in the 1992 book, "We Were Soldiers Once ... and Young," coauthored by Joseph L. Galloway and retired Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore.
