Captured Pilot Resists Torture and Helps Fellow Prisoners #pow #mia #militaryhistory #veteran

Col. Edward L. Hubbard spent 2,420 days (over 6 years) as a prisoner of war after being shot down during combat missions over Northern Vietnam. Hubbard was an EB-66C Navigator with the 41st Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron flying out of Takhli Royal Thai AFB, Thailand during this time. Hubbard was released from captivity during Operation Homecoming on March 4, 1973.

During Edward L. Hubbard's captivity, he was able to teach his fellow POW's tap code and other forms of communication so the whole camp could communicate with the guards knowing. He helped organize the camp's POWs to ensure everyone looked out for each other and make it back home.

During our annual American Valor show, we bring 20+ WWII veterans and scores of other veterans every year to honor their service and collect their stories. This is how we keep the actions from the service member who was on the ground alive in American memory.
