Colonel Jack Moroney

It is with deep regret that the staff and members of ProfessionalSoldiers.com report the passing this morning of Jack Moroney, Colonel (Retired), Special Forces.

Colonel Moroney was a rare individual who was a warrior, mentor, leader, father, husband and great American. He epitomized the Quiet Professional.

I was privileged to have him as a Group Commander, there was no one better at getting the job done and taking care of his people than Colonel Moroney. Woe to anyone who attempted to mess with his people, or Special Forces.

He was a friend who could be counted on and an inspiration who led from the front.

I am proud to have known him, and the world is a lesser place without him.

RIP, Sir. Thank you for your exceptional service, and your friendship. You will not be forgotten.

Save a place for us on the other side. We will meet again.
