Jerimiah Denton, USN was shot down and held Prisoner of War in Hanoi, North Vietnam. During his stay there, the POWs were tortured (some to death) but they had no means of telling the world what was happening to them. During an International news visit, POWs were forced to make “propaganda” films to show how “humanely” they were being treated. Denton volunteered, then BLINKED “T-O-R-T-U-R-E” in Morse Code throughout his interview. Hero! They fed him well x2 wks before his “show”.

This Veteran’s story is one of the best accounts I’ve read of the treatment of POW’s in North Vietnam.
