These stories need to be repeated often and unfortunately explained.

I gave a speech in Toastmasters once about a prisoner of war experience and the unexpected response that flabbergasted me was from a graduate student....”we need to tell this to everyone so that they won't join the army and have to go through that.”

Print this article out and show it to your children or grandchildren or to the classes that you might teach....let some of our young Americans know and respect this extraordinary American....let them know there there are Americans who do extraordinary things under extraordinary circumstances for others: other than entertain.

Sounded like he was nuts in Vietnam. But dozens of men are alive because of him.
