During his victory speech, Moore talked about his “leave no one behind,” slogan and said: “When I was an Army captain and led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan, we lived by a simple principle: Leave no one behind … Real patriotism means bringing people together. It means lifting each other up and improving each other’s lives.”
