I also hope it communicates the exhilaration of taking off from an aircraft carrier and the pride of fighting for one's country... no matter the odds or the cost.—Bill Phillips James B. Stockdale led the first American air attacks against North Vietnam in 1964, and whose Fighter Squadron 51 flew Combat Air Patrols (CAPs) above the USS Ticonderoga, But February 12, 1973, he was the senior naval officier in North Vietnam's Prisoner of War camps—leading an organized resistance by all POWs against enemy interrogation and torture. For his "intrepidity at the risk of his own life above and beyond the call of duty." James B. Stockdale was presented with his nation's highest decoration for gallantry, the Medal of Honor.
