The chapter is named after MajGen Lloyd Moses, a South<br />

Dakota native. Moses, then a colonel, commanded the 31st Regt.,<br />

7th Inf. Div., with the Republic of Colombia battalion attached.<br />

The 31st Regt. was engaged in the severe fighting for Hill 598<br />

(Triangle Hill, Jane Russell, and Sniper Ridge). For this—and<br />

earlier actions—Col. Moses earned both the Distinguished<br />

Service Cross and the Silver Star. He retired as a MajGen in 1964<br />

after 35 years of active military service.<br />
