10 a.m. - noon Thursdays, Oct 31-Nov. 14

Join us to honor our POW heroes who endured harrowing experiences after being shot down over North Vietnam during bombing raids authorized by President Nixon. Many pilots were captured by enemy forces after ejecting from their jets hit by Russian-made surface-to-air missiles. Their ordeals, including torture and publicized embarrassing moments, will be discussed, highlighting their resilience and survival until they returned home. We'll focus on American heroes like Stockdale and McCain, exploring their courage and endurance during captivity.
