Forty Years in the Blink of an Eye
Forty years ago today, on 26 October 1967, Lieutenant Commander John Sidney McCain III, U.S. Navy, was shot down over Hanoi, North Vietnam. He would spend the next six years being tortured, abused, and systematically degraded by his Communist captors. I hesitate to say more because each time I have tried the result has been a political tirade rather than a patriotic tribute. You can't go wrong with this: God bless you, Senator McCain.
