Believe it or not. My father was Vice Wing Commander at Clark AFB at the time. He was on the tarmac when the medivac arrived. The pows were taken to the base hospital under tight security. They could speak w/ a limited few until they were debriefed. He snuck 4 out of the hospital and asked what they wanted from the BX. Whiskey and cigars was all. He brought them to the house and I listened to their HH stories. Horrific what they endured. True heros all.
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

He was an Alabama native and senator before moving to Virginia to be closer to his grown children. Very big on family and values.

Richard Shelby is the senator that unseated him in the late 80's or early 90's (hard to remember when without looking at the article) and is still serving today.
