I served with four former POWs in the USAF (Tom McNish, Joe McCurdy, Don Spoon and Bud Day) and became acquainted with another after I retired. (Ted Guy) They were ordinary men who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances, and rose to the challenge.
Jeremiah Denton was exactly the same. I moved from Alabama in September of 1980 so I never had the privilege of voting for him but considered him my "honorary senator" during his service.
