Vietnam vet, POW shares accounts of perseverance

Retired Lt. Col. Barry Bridger, a Vietnam veteran, prisoner of war, and former member of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, shakes hands with Airmen during the 4th Fighter Wing’s Leadership Lecture Series, Feb. 4, 2014, at Seymour Johnson AFB. During the Vietnam War, on Jan. 23, 1967, Bridger was shot down by a surface-to-air missile in his F-4 Phantom. The damage sent him and his wingman into a spiral from which they had to eject from their aircraft. He was quickly captured and transported to the Hanoi Hilton prison camp where he spent six years of his life. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Brittain Crolley)
