The Hanoi Hilton

Thank you John McCain and those who fought and gave their lives in VietNam. We recently toured the prison where John McCain was kept during the Vietnam war. To say that this place was sobbering is such an understatement.

It confirmed again to me how terrible war really is. I have uploaded pictures of the place and a picture of the actual clothing he wore when he was captured. (JM) I can't imagine what it was like to spend such a long time in a prison like that and still come out with the ability to be such a strong survior. It seems like the psychological damage not to mention the physical tortures would be almost impossible to overcome. My respect for him and all the men that were there has increased one hundred fold.
