    Default Tales of soldiers imprisoned by the enemy.

    When I think of the recent exchange made for Sgt Bergdahl, and Cpl. Hassoun's capture, I was saddened to learn of the death yesterday of Cpt Louis Zamperini.

    I chose to use the same news source for all three stories. I do not endorse the WP and certainly don't believe it to be objective. Please enjoy the stories and remember to Be Safe while celebrating Our Independence Day.

    Zamperini was a true American warrior.
