Retired Col. Will Gideon, former 437th Airlift Wing Supply Squadron commander and Resource Management deputy commander, looks back on his military story from his kitchen table, March 26, 2013, in Mount Pleasant, S.C. On display is a model plane of the F-105 Thunderchief, the same aircraft flown the day Gideon was shot down and became an American Prisoner of War during the Vietnam Conflict. Gideon was interned as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam after his F-105 fighter jet was shot down August 7, 1966, and was held until his release March 4, 1973. March 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the American POWs coming home from the Vietnam War. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Tom Brading)
