IIRC, I read somewhere that he used to take up two barstools at the bar where he and his compatriots hung out (in Saigon? Rnagoon? Bangkok?). He was shot down or crashed and it took him months to make his way home. He'd lost so much weight that no one recognized when he sat at the bar.
RIP

I can answer with one word: Victory—victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.-Winston Churchill
