I’m too young to have served in Viet Nam, but old enough to have worn a POW bracelet that many of us wore back then as a sign of our support for our heros. The name on my bracelet is Captain Jeremiah Denton. I remember watching the broadcast live on a black and white TV as then Captain Denton was the very first POW to disembark the transport plane at Clark AFB on February 12, 1973. I was 14 years old. I still remember.

That bracelet is probably priceless. It’s a piece of history now.

Salute to Adm. Denton. Thank you for proving that true courage never dies.

That is worth remembering. Truly he was a hero.
