Dallas Don Moody entered the service in mid-January of 1944. His family

He served on a plane similar to this B-24 Liberator.
During his nine months in the service he wrote 250 letters to his family in
Vinton and his mother saved every one.
The letters often contained code words--for instance he always signed his
letters "Don", except when he went on a mission, then it was "Dallas."
After his death his letters were turned into a book called "An Aerial Gunner
From Virginia."

He's been sentenced to 16 years in prison for fleeing from police last
spring and causing an accident that killed three people.
"Even though I ran from them, I just want everyone to know that nothing is
worth running from police because it will get people in more trouble than they
were in. I'm so sorry and I want to help young kids not to go through what I
did."
Another viewer wrote:
"If no one runs there is no chase. If the suspect, when approached by
police, remains calm and is cooperative he will not, even if arrested, be dead
at the end of a chase. We hire police to catch criminals. Sometimes they have
to chase them but it is the suspect who initiates the chase. On the other hand
if a person is influenced by drugs or alcohol he may not act rationally and it
is in those situations that officers can use judgement to decide if a chase is
warranted."
A Radford viewer says:
"I think that many people would agree that if police did not give chase, but
simply relied upon road blocks or trying to identify the person involved by
license tags...MANY more criminals would get away to repeat their crimes. The
result of this would be more violence against innocent people. There are, of
course, situations in which the police must break off their pursuit, and in
this case they did the right thing."
