Thank you for this unknown (at least to me) insight into Admiral Stockdale. Too many of us know him only from his "Who am I? Why am I here?" line at the 1992 Presidential Debate. He was clearly a heroic and dedicated public servant who deserved much better than the mockery which came his way.
(Trivial reply) but this inspired me to look up Admiral Stockdale, and apart from his incredible history, I discovered that his son Taylor restored the craftsman-style home they lived in while he was a POW. It’s in my state of CA! Always amazes me where people end up.

He was a true American hero in every sense of it.
Looking forward to this interview with Dennis Aftergut but this intro is powerfully inspirational on its own!
He’s brilliant. Thank you!

Thank you for listing Dennis Aftergut’s writings. Really wanted more after listening to your conversation with him.
I’m so glad you liked it. I’ll be doing that for every show now. Pulling the highlights and links. Thanks for your support!
