They were held there one week before being transported to the Hanoi Hilton. He and his fellow Prisoners of War were released in March 1973. He and his wife Sandy travel around the United States to various military installations spreading the message of faith in captivity. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech Sgt. Johnny Saldivar)
