Massive respect for this man.

Well, judging by Xbox live... Yeah.

Denton is best known for the 1966 televised press conference that he was forced into as an American POW by his North Vietnamese captors. He ingeniously used the opportunity to communicate successfully and to confirm for the first time to the U.S. Military (naval intelligence) and Americans that American POWs were being tortured in North Vietnam. He repeatedly blinked his eyes in Morse Code during the interview, spelling out the word, "T-O-R-T-U-R-E".

Brave man...I love how he proudly stated he supports his government and country....Did they get the message he was trying to put out there?

[Eliza Caisse]

Love my great grandpa. he was in fact an amazing man <3

Dang...

[myperspectivehere]

I have met him. He's an amazing man!

[chillman4130]

First thing I thought was he probably had to practice a lot, which makes this whole thing both more ingenious and more terrifying.

[Sing Song]

Oh my! Seriously, see if you can meet him! I am envious.

[Sing Song]

I have profound respect for him. His wife did some amazing stuff, too, here in the States to get people to realize she and the other wives needed to know if they were still wives or were they widows. These men gave so much for our county. Others gave all. Let us not waste their contribution to freedom.

Its amazing he can talk and blink Morse Code under stress like that. I'm not sure I could talk and do Morse Code without stress, at least not without practice.
