Prisoner of War—Faith Under Adversity
November 16, 2008
A Navy pilot shot down over Vietnam
Tortured for six years in the Hanoi Hilton, receiving wounds that still plague him. Meanwhile, his wife was in Virginia Beach, raising three children on her own—not knowing whether her husband was dead or alive. How did they survive? How would you endure such physical and emotional trials?
When Navy Captain Red McDaniel and his wife Dorothy share their story, we learn of his shoot-down over enemy territory, his ordeal as a prisoner of war, and the God who enabled him to survive. Dorothy relates her uncertainty about Red’s fate, her struggles to rear their three young children alone, and finally receiving her first letter from Red three years after his capture.
When Red came home to freedom after six years as a POW, his country awarded him the Navy’s highest award for bravery, the Navy Cross, and two Purple Hearts for wounds sustained during torture sessions by his North Vietnamese captors.
