An American hero dies

The Navy announced that Vice Admiral James Stockdale, United States Navy (Retired) has died. Unfortunately, most people if they remember him at all, recall he was Ross Perot's running mate during the 1992 presidential election. Stockdale should be remembered as a hero and a recipient of the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest military award for heroism. He was the highest ranking Prisoner of War (POW) of the Vietnam War. He was a POW for 7 and a half years and endured constant torture.
