Vietnam POW to share experiences with local residents

A retired Air Force officer who spent six years in Vietnam’s infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prison
camp will talk about this life-changing experience – and the lessons it taught him about
himself – on Thursday, April 9 at the McDonough Auditorium, Marietta College, hosted by the McDonough Center for Leadership and Business.

“None know better than the combat veterans that the cost of freedom is high, but the blessings
of liberty are priceless,” says Lt. Col. Barry Bridger, an F-4 pilot who was shot down over
North Vietnam.

Barry Bridger’s thought-provoking presentation will focus on how he and his fellow POWs worked together to survive their years of incarceration. In this story of survival, bravery, teamwork and patriotism, Barry will share how the POW experience has helped him assess what is truly important in his life.
