On July 18, 1965, U.S. Navy Commander Jeremiah A. Denton, Jr. was shot down and captured in North Vietnam, enduring over seven years of brutal mistreatment and solitary confinement as a POW. Despite severe conditions, Denton showed remarkable resilience, famously blinking "TORTURE" in Morse code during a televised interview to alert U.S. intelligence. His story stands as a testament to human endurance and bravery.
