B. Stockdale passes away
June 29th, 2005--
Admiral James Stockdale dies on July 5th, 2005. While a Captain during the
Vietnam conflict, Mr. Stockdale was forced to eject from his A-4 Skyhawk
plane. He landed in the streets of a small North Vietnamese village and
broke a bone in his back. The townspeople came down upon him and beat him
mercilessly. He was then take to the Hoa Lo Prison (aka "Hanoi Hilton"). At
one point he spent 4 years in total darkness in solitary confinement. At one
point he mutilated himself just before the North Vietnamese hoped to display
him in the streets as an example of fair treatment. On another occasion he
slit his wrists to show his captors they could never force a bogus
confession out of him. The captors saved his life and then agreed to cease
torturing him and other prisoners into giving such confessions. For such
selfless action, Adm. Stockdale was recognized with the Medal of Honor.
