A Final Salute to an American Hero - Jeremiah Denton
An American hero from the Vietnam era, Jeremiah Denton, died on Friday. A Navy A-6 pilot, he was shot down on a mission over North Vietnam and was instrumental in keeping up the morale and resistance of American pilots imprisoned in Vietnamese hellholes. The North Vietnamese put him on television to show how "well" he and the other prisoners were being treated and he blinked his eyes in Morse code "t-o-r-t-u-r-e" to let the world know what was really going on. He also met God in the bowels of one of these prisons.
David Kupelian pens a moving tribute to this rock of a man. In wartime he was a warrior who exemplified the best of the American fighting man. In peace he was a gentle man who served his country
as a U.S. Senator and as an advisor to Presidents. We have been blessed by such men over the centuries. May that always be so.
