Great story. I heard about him in training.
But I don’t understand that if he had a watch at 0100 why did he not get up until 0300?
Speaking of training, I never could get those darn dungarees to work. Hell, I couldn’t even get the legs tied.

Thanks Twotone..."Then Doug would back up to a truck, spin the gas cap off the standpipe, stoop down and put a small amount of dirt in the gas tank and replace the cap. I watched him over a period of time do this to five trucks. Now, I’m a liberal arts major who shot himself down, so all I can do is report what I saw. There were five trucks working in the prison; I saw Doug work on five trucks; I saw five trucks towed disabled out of the prison camp. Doug Hegdahl, a high school graduate from the mess decks fell off a ship and has five enemy trucks to his credit. I am a World Famous Golden Dragon (VA 192) with two college degrees, 2000 jet hours, 300 carrier landings and 22 combat missions. How many enemy trucks do I have to my credit? Zero. Zip. Nada. De Rien. 0. Who’s the better man? Douglas Brent Hegdahl, one of two

He was one of my Instructors at SERE School ... could still recite names and ID numbers of every Prisoner
He stayed after Graduation and would speak with anyone about anything ... last one out of the Classroom.
He was instrumental in the entire SERE School Program.

I’ve read about this guy.A young sailor,a junior enlisted man,at the Hanoi Hilton with Navy and Air Force officers who had been shot down.He had to be *ordered* to accept early release.Certainly a hero in my book.

Capt Stratton lives here at Fleet Landing. I arrived in Dec and have not met him yet. Nice to know he has been writing about his POW years.

Usually they were volunteers, violators of direct orders from their Seniors and traitors to our cause of resistance./Has anyone ever found out which "traitors" he was referring to?
