I was privileged to be able to say that Colonel James Nicholas "Nick" Rowe was a friend of mine ... Nick was a remarkable fellow, the only Army officer to escape from a Vietnamese prison camp ..... his bio can be seen in this link ===> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_N._Rowe <=== he's the father of the current US Army Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) training program taught to high-risk military personnel (such as Special Forces and aircrews) and the U.S. Army doctrine which institutionalizes these techniques and principles to be followed by captured personnel .... SERE is taught at the Colonel James "Nick" Rowe Training compound at Camp Mackall, North Carolina (FT Bragg) .... his book "Five Years To Freedom" ===> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004G5ZYEW/re ... TF8&btkr=1 is based on his time time as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese .... .... we have an autographed copy that is stored in our most secure safe .... frankly, from an emotional standpoint, its a hard book for us to read .... he was a great guy, a credit to our country
