Plot Summary: This movie is an account of US Navy Commander James Stockdale's 8 year imprisonment in North Vietnam
Jane Alexander ... Sybil Stockdale
James Woods ... James B. 'Jim' Stockdale
When I was working at Microsoft Corporation with my official United States federal undercover identity, a person that was assigned to work with me from a company I was assigned to, always reminded me, in appearance, of James Woods. He worked in Ottawa and he was also sent out to Charlotte, North Carolina, on a trip that required me to fly across the country just after the 9/11/2001, attacks. I remember we were in Charlotte when the first episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise" premiered.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire and I have puzzled over the three announcements from President Reagan from that day. In my artificial and symbolic memories, my younger sister, Margaret Melissa Burgess Walraven was born 2/14/1968. The date 12/23/1991 seems to be encoded in my U.S. military DD-214 document from the Military Personnel Records center and that was Admiral Stockdale’s 68th birthday. He received the Medal Of Honor for his bravery as a Prisoner of War in Vietnam.
That 12/23/1991 date that seems to suggest Admiral Stockdale’s 68th birthday is in the form of a typographic error on that form. And there is also the fact that the military education courses listed there represent almost entirely the period I recognize as being missing in Africa. Specifically:
14. Military Education (Course title, number of weeks, and month and year completed)
Fire Control Technician “A” School 23wks 86Nov; Terrier MK 152 Computer Complex 91wks 87 Jun; BE&E SSC 12wks 86Apr;
From 10/28/1939 to 2/14/1986 is: 16911
16911 * 0.333 = 5631 days
From 7/16/1963 to 12/15/1978 ("Superman") is: 5631 days

"February 12, 2003
POWs will get another homecoming, 30 years later
By Brian Kelly

OAK HARBOR -- Two words. A snippet of a sentence, a phrase that lifted them higher than the lumbering Air Force C-141 could ever soar.
"Feet wet!" came the call. And in plane after plane, shouts of joy erupted as each "Hanoi Taxi" crossed the coastline of Vietnam.
Thirty years ago today, the first wave of prisoners of war came home from Vietnam. Dubbed "Operation Homecoming," it saw the release of almost 600 of the 801 Americans captured during the war.
Today at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, the freedom flights will be marked by a symposium and panel discussion hosted by a half-dozen or so Vietnam POWs. It's a hot ticket for people in uniform: Roughly 400 or more sailors and Marines are expected to attend.
Richard "Skip" Brunhaver, the pilot of a Navy A-4 Skyhawk, recalled being on the second flight out of Hanoi on Feb. 12, 1973. He spent 2,729 days, more than seven years, as a prisoner of war, most of them in Hoa Lo prison, better known as the "Hanoi Hilton."
He was 25 when he was captured -- his fighter-bomber went down because of mechanical trouble in August 1965 -- and 33 when he went home as part of Operation Homecoming.
No cheers came from on board when his plane took off from Vietnam, bound for Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines.
"We had developed so much cynicism over such a long period of time, you never knew," Brunhaver recalled. "You thought there might be some trick going on."
Brunhaver, now 62, said the mood changed once the plane crossed the coast.
"When we hit 'feet wet,' we knew it was for real. About that time, your brain clicked over and said it's time to start living again."
