We lost a true patriot and a great Naval Officer yesterday with the passing of Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale, USN(Ret). He led us by example through many tough times in the prison camps of North Vietnam. There is a good memorial site arranged by DOD at www.admiralstockdale.com with a lot of info and pictures about his life and career. I think Ross Perot did Jim a great dis-serice by asking him to be his VP running mate, since Jim had Alheimers already at that time. The complications of Alzheimers and cancer took him in the end.
