História biográfica
Nard Long Moseley, born Clyde Maynard Long Jr., was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1925 to Clyde Maynard Long and Sarah Craven Long. His parents divorced, and he was adopted by his mother's second husband, Willie Pratt Moseley of Gulfport, Mississippi. He had two half-siblings, Clarkson Moseley and Charlotte Ann Moseley.
After briefly attending Mississippi State University, Nard enlisted in the Army in August 1943. He served with the 83rd Infantry Division in Europe, and saw action in Belgium, France, and Germany. After attending Officers Candidate School in Fontainebleau, France, he served with the 65th regiment in Trinidad and Puerto Rico. At the time of his death, Lieutenant Moseley served as the executive officer of his company in the 325th Infantry Regiment, 52nd Airborne Division. He was the recipient of the Silver Star, Bronze star, Purple Heart, and the British Military Medal for bravery in the field.
Moseley married Meda Jo Bailey in 1947, and they had one son, Charles Pratt Moseley. Moseley was killed by a lightning strike during training maneuvers at Camp Mackall in 1951. He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
