Jeremiah Denton Jr. Blinking Morse Code
Jeremiah Denton Jr., a Navy Captain and also a former US Senator, spent almost 8 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. 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 used the opportunity to communicate successfully and to confirm for the first time to the U.S. Military 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”
What an amazing hero!
