Chief Journalist Robert D. Moeser, USN
Robert D. Moeser spent more than twenty years on active duty
in the Navy, twelve as a Photographer's Mate and eight as a Journalist.
During the first years of the Vietnam War he made several trips
to the combat zone to photograph the Navy's operations. Many of
these images appear in his noteworthy book "U.S. Navy: Vietnam",
which was published in 1969 by the U.S. Naval Institute (Annapolis,
Maryland). Chief Journalist Moeser retired from the Navy in 1968
and was subsequently employed by the U.S. Department of Labor.
