Core service profile
Obituary and memorial records describe Moody as a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Army. They identify him as both a helicopter pilot and a fixed-wing pilot and report service in Korea and two tours in Vietnam.
That combination places him within a major period of change in Army aviation. The record supports the basic service profile; broader historical discussion should remain context rather than invented personal detail.
How this site handles military claims
The site treats official-sounding award and service claims carefully. Reported decorations, aircraft roles, and overseas service are included where obituary and memorial materials support them, but the site does not present itself as an official military personnel file.
Future additions could include official service records, award citations, Army Register entries, or contemporaneous unit records. Until then, the site should continue to distinguish memorial-source claims from independently verified official award lines.
