Stockdale connection featured around Veterans Day
The screening of a new documentary produced by the United States Naval Academy was part of the College’s observance of Veterans Day. Presented in partnership with the Academy’s Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership, the documentary was filmed to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the homecoming of U.S. military personnel who were Vietnam prisoners of war. Those POWs included Vice Adm. James Stockdale (pictured with his wife, Sybil), a member of the College’s Class of 1946, who was shot down in 1965 over North Vietnam and was held captive nearly eight years.
