Destroyer christened in honor of MOH recipient, Vietnam POW

I had the great pleasure of getting to know Adm Jim Stockdale and Mrs. Sybil Stockdale.
Adm Stockdale's books gave me a greater insight to his love of philosophy and his family. He encouraged me, took time to talk with me and I will always be thankful for his advice.
If you haven't read his book In Love and War, I recommend it. You will see how he coped with his time as a POW but also what an incredible wife he had supporting him.
