Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te kitenga tupono i roto i te toa toa kua whakaarahia he ngaru o nga kare a tetahi hoia o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. Ko Bill Moore, 90 ona tau, i tangi tata nei i a ia e pānui ana i tētahi reta aroha kua roa e ngaro ana i tonoa e ia ki tana wahine ā muri ake nei, ki a Bernadean Gibson, e 70 tau ki muri, i a ia he hōia taitamariki, e whawhai ana ki te ope taua tuatoru a Patton i Uropi. I kitea te reta i roto i tetahi rekoata tawhito i hokona i te toa penapena e Ilene Ortiz o Westminster, Colorado, i mahi ki te whakakotahi i te reta me te whanau o Moore. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ngā maharatanga: I tangi a Bill Moore i a ia e pānui ana i tētahi reta kua roa e ngaro ana i tukuna e ia ki tana wahine a muri ake nei, ki a Bernadean Gibson, 70 tau ki muri, i a ia e whawhai ana i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. He ohorere: I kitea te reta i te wā tata nei e tētahi wahine i Colorado i kitea te tuhipoka i roto i tētahi kōpaki pukaemi i hokona e ia i tētahi toa raupaparorohiko. He kupu ataahua: 'Kāore au i tino mihi ki te kāinga mō tētahi i roto i tōku ora katoa, pērā ki a koe,' te mutunga o te reta. 'Ki te noho wehe koe mō taua take, kāore koe e mōhio mēnā ka kite anō koe i taua tangata, ā, ā, āhea rānei, he mea whakamiharo ngā wā katoa e taea ai e koe te kōrero,' i kī a Moore mō te reta. I te taha mauī, he pikitia o Bernadean mai i taua wā, ā, i te taha matau, he pikitia o tana tāne ā muri ake nei i roto i tana kākahu. I tino ohorere a Moore i te kitenga, a ka tangi, ka kata hoki ia i a ia e pānui ana i te reta putiputi ki te hoa wahine i tutaki ia ki a ia i te wa o tana wehenga. 'Ko taku hoa aroha, e arohaina ana, e whakawehi ana, e Bernadean,' ko te korero o te reta. 'Kua pau i ahau te wāhi, engari i taea e au te tuhituhi i ētahi atu kupu ātaahua e whakaahua ana i a koe. He tino ataahua koe, e taku aroha, e whakaaro ana ahau i nga wa katoa he aha i taea ai koe hei hoa moku. Ko ahau te tangata tino waimarie i roto i te ao, e matau ana koe. A ko koe te take, Bernadean. Ahakoa tou ingoa tangi aroha ki ahau. ' Ko te reta i tuhia i te tau 1945 he kupu whakataki ki te 63 tau o te marenatanga o te Moore, i roto i a raua i whakatipu tamariki tokotoru. 'Ki te wehewehe koe mo taua take, kaore koe e mohio mena ka kite ano koe i taua tangata, ko nga mea katoa ka taea e koe te whakawhitiwhiti korero he mea whakamiharo,' i kii a Moore ki a KMGH. Heoi, he mea mamae ano hoki...
I tukuna e Bill Moore, 90, te reta ki tana wahine a muri ake nei, a Bernadean Gibson i te tau 1945. I taua wā e whawhai ana ia mō te ope taua tuatoru a Patton i te rārangi whawhai o Ūropi i te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao. I kitea te reta i te wā tata nei e tētahi wahine i kitea te tuhipoka i kōkirihia ki roto i tētahi taupoki pukaemi i hokona e ia i tētahi toa raupatu. I haere a Moore ki te marena i tana kaumeahine, ā, i noho tahi rāua mō ngā tau 63 o te marenatanga hari. I mate a Bernadean i te tau 2010, ā, ināianei kei te noho a Moore i tētahi whare tiaki āwhina mō ngā hōia.
